Batch

This French term can have many meanings in context, for example "charge quantity", "filling quantity" or "battery". In German-speaking countries, it is usually understood to mean a "part" or a "partial quantity".

Viticulture

In the context of viticulture, this is a common term in France for the quantity of grapes pressed (the grape must) or also a part of the grape harvest quantity. In the Médoc, however, it is also a unit of measurement for 900 litres and corresponds to the tonneau. In Roussillon, on the other hand, this used to be a barrel size or unit of measurement with a volume of 120 litres.
