Neither of those links were remotely useful.
Do you even know what tare weight is ?

What we're looking for is a list of empty bottle weights that can be 
subtracted from the weight of a part-filled bottle to deduce how much liquor 
remains in them.
You'd do this for a detailed stock-take.

While I couldn't find a chart,
http://www.centralcarolinascale.com/bar-scale-fluid-oz.htm
Suggests you do-it-yourself.
I guess you can also work backwards - Comparing a partial bottle with the 
weight of a FULL bottle will tell you how much has GONE. This may be easier 
than collecting a load of empties.

Advanced hand-held stock weight systems should have the ability to program 
these weights in, as doing it by hand would be a pain.
I know there are hand-held combination bar-code scanners and sling-style 
scales (the bottle hangs under the hand unit) that can do all this at once ... 

AccuWeigh is not it - the scales appear to be table-based, but it illustrated 
the mechanism
