The
standard bottle that was the accepted size in the industry
for many years was the Reputed Quart (6 per Gallon
26 2/3 fluid ounces 757 mL). This was metricised to 750
mL which has remained ever since (spirit are standardising
at 700 mL). This size is about the same as the first bottles
know to have been created.
