Pints are sold as pints but its marked up as 568ml on the glass.

Milk was the same for a while and you still see it occasional though we've gone to liters mostly.

Most things are metric now though.

With milk, the measurements used seem to depend on the type of milk sold. If it's regular milk, it will be sold by the pint. If it's UHT or filtered milk, it seems to be sold by the litre.
