Muid

French name for an old liquid and dry measure. The name is derived from the Latin "modius" or "modus" (unit of measure, rule), which was a Roman cereal measure with 10.5 litres and corresponds to the biblical bushel. The volumes, however, were very different in the countries. Muid, however, is also a type of barrel with a volume of 1,300 litres in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape area. A demi-muid (half size) is common in Champagne and Languedoc-Roussillon. A muid is sometimes equated with a poinçon or referred to as one of the possible barrique cask types.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
