Drew is absolutely right about the specifics.

But texlizr, in my experience, I've never heard of a bottle of wine referred to as a "fifth". The term "fifth" (again, in my experience) applies to spirits (bourbon, vodka, etc.). A standard size wine bottle is called a "750", for the 750ml it holds, as Drew mentioned.

Other wine bottle names (and sizes:

"Magnum" 1.5 liters (2 regular bottles)
"Double Magnum" 3 liters (4 bottles)
"Jeroboam" 4.5 liters (6 bottles; 4 if champagne)
"Imperial" 6 liters (8 bottles)
"Methusaleh" 6 liters (8 bottles)
"Nebuchadnezzar" 15 liters (20 bottles)

I got these from Wine Spectator's site; it's interesting to note that it lists an Imperial and Methusaleh as both holding the same amount. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
