What does ULLAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
The amount by which a container such as a cask, tank or bottle falls short of being completely full.
Ullage matters most for goods stored in barrels or bottles over time, because liquid can evaporate or leak and leave an empty gap at the top. Wine merchants and brewers measure ullage to judge how well a cask has been sealed and how much of the original liquid remains. The word can also serve as a verb, meaning to work out how much liquid a partly empty container has lost.
