"Distillers measured it by mixing equal amounts of gunpowder and whiskey in small amounts and then lit a match to the mixture. If it did not burn, the whiskey was too weak. If it burned with a steady blue flame then this was proof that the alcoholic content was right."

"Proofreading
Proofreading is reading a proof copy of text for the purpose of detecting errors. A proof copy is traditionally a version of a manuscript that has been typeset after copy editing has been performed.
The line between copy editing and proofreading is narrow. Often, proof manuscripts contain typographical errors introduced during typesetting by the typesetter hitting incorrect keys (hence the word "typo" to refer to misplaced or incorrect characters). Earlier, when handwritten originals were common, it was often easier for a copy editor to review and mark up a manuscript after it had been typeset and the proof copy produced. Today, proofreading usually refers to reviewing any text, hardcopy or electronic copy (on a computer), and checking for any kind of errors. "

Proof merkintä on pullossa nimenomaan jenkkiviranomaisten vaatimuksesta. Jenkit eivät ilmeisesti ymmärrä tuota prosenttimerkintää.
Jos proof luku on esim. 80 se pitää jakaa kahdella niin saadaan väkevyys prosentteina eli tässä tapauksessa se olisi 40%
