A single 750 ml bottle of wine (12% ABV) can range from 3.6 to 8.9 standard drinks depending on which country's definition you use. Always check your local guidelines for responsible consumption.

750 ml vs 700 ml: Global Bottle Size Standards

The 750 ml bottle is not the global standard everywhere. In fact, only the United States and India use 750 ml as their standard spirit bottle. Most of the world uses 700 ml for distilled spirits, while wine remains at 750 ml universally.

If you buy a bottle of Scotch whisky in Europe, it will be 700 ml (23.67 oz), not 750 ml (25.36 oz). The 50 ml difference means about 1.7 fewer ounces per bottle. Spanish customs have recently seized 750 ml spirit bottles entering the EU for non-compliance.

Wine Bottle Sizes: How 750 ml Compares

The 750 ml bottle is considered the "standard" in the wine world, but it sits within a range of bottle formats named after biblical kings:

Larger format bottles are not just for show. Magnums and above use thicker glass, which slows oxidation and helps wine age more gracefully than in a standard 750 ml bottle.

Why Is a 750 ml Bottle Called a "Fifth"?

In the United States, a 750 ml bottle of liquor is commonly called a "fifth." This name dates back to 1872, when the US Treasury Department standardized bottle sizes for tax purposes. One of the five standard sizes was one-fifth of a US gallon, which equals approximately 757 ml.

When the US converted to metric measurements in 1980, the closest practical size to a fifth of a gallon (757 ml) was 750 ml — and the name stuck. So when someone asks for a "fifth of vodka," they are asking for a 750 ml bottle containing 25.36 oz.

The original five US standard bottle sizes from 1872 were:

• 1/10 gallon (350 ml)
• 1/8 gallon (430 ml)
• 1/6 gallon (480 ml)
• 1/5 gallon (750 ml) — the "fifth"
• 1/4 gallon (950 ml)

Calories in a 750 ml Bottle by Drink Type

If you are tracking calories, knowing the caloric content of a 750 ml bottle can help with planning:

A standard 750 ml bottle of red wine contains roughly 600–680 calories total across 5 glasses, while a 750 ml bottle of vodka contains over 1,600 calories across 17 shots.
