bottle size

Well actually,,,,,,,,

A fifth does refer to spirits and not to wine. And it does not refer to the US Gallon.

A fifth USED to mean 1/5 of an IMPERIAL Gallon based on British Standards, not US. On fifth is very close to being the same as one quart US.

One Gallon US equals 3.785 Liters. One Gallon Imperial equals 4.546 Liters. This makes the Imperial Gallon about 17 percent larger than the US Gallon.
