From WikipadiA

Permanent wilting point (PWP) or wilting point (WP) is defined as the minimal point of soil moisture the plant requires not to wilt. If moisture decreases to this or any lower point a plant wilts and can no longer recover its turgidity when placed in a saturated atmosphere for 12 hours. The physical definition of the wilting point (symbolically expressed as θpwp or θwp) is defined as the water content at −1500 J/kg (or −15 bars) of suction pressure, or negative hydraulic head.

However, it is noted that the PWP values under field conditions are not constant for any given soil, but are determined by the integrated effects of plant, soil and atmospheric conditions.

And the moisture content usually comes from the contents of a quart bottle.
