Probably due to tax purposes.
The higher % abv (alcohol by volume) drinks are classified as spirits and probably attract a different (higher?) tax rate.
It's one of those wonderful definitions that politicians come up with to distinguish things, eg in the EU:
- cakes go hard when stale whereas biscuits go soft - biscuits attract VAT whereas cakes do not.
I also seem to remember about shrimps and prawns something like:
If there are more than some number of them for a given volume/weight they are small and must be called shrimp; if there are less than that number, then they are large and may be called either shrimps or prawns.
However that totally ignores the fact that shrimps and prawns are different biological species.
