It's a 750 ml. It refers to the size in ounces (more accurately, to the size of similar bottles before metric was adopted; a 750 is actually around 25.5 oz).

It refers to 26 fluid ounces which is ~770ml, so the closest size in round metric numbers 750ml. A 700ml bottle would only be about 24oz.

Looks like 26 oz is about 769ml, so maybe the 750 is a "close enough" equivalent?

I don't think I've ever seen a 700ml bottle. Only 500 and 750

Almost all wine bottles if they count

Wine bottles are 750 ml though

Oh yeah, so they are. Liquor bottles in the uk are 700ml. I got it the wrong way around

I didn't know that about liquor bottles in the UK. They also have a standard size of 750 ml in the US, though there are also smaller and bigger bottles.

The thought of calling a bottle of wine a twosix is hilarious to me

750 mL is about 25Β½ fl. oz.
