Meaning of "ullage" in English

"Ullage" refers to the amount by which a container, such as a bottle or tank, is not full. In the wine industry, it indicates the space between the wine and the top of the container, essential for accounting for evaporation or expansion. Ullage is also critical in the shipment of liquids to allow for expansion without risking overflow or pressure damage. Understanding ullage is crucial for maintaining the quality of the stored liquid, as too much space can lead to oxidation, which affects the product's integrity.
