A fifth is a fifth of a gallon. That is the standard size for a bottle of wine. It just means 'one bottle'.

The Americsn liquor industry successfully converted to the metric system in the seventies (possibly eighties), Before that a fifth was one fifth of a gallon or four fifths of a quart, It is roughly equivalent to 750 ml. but every manufacturer saves almost 1% of a bottle when he sells 750 ml rather than a fifth. Perhaps this helps explain why the liquor industry did not fight against metrification.

"A fifth of a gallon of liquor. Technically it is around 757mL, but fifths are sold in bottles containing 750mL". This is the smaller bottle of booze sold at liquor stores.

a fifth of a gallon. Nowadays fifths are rounded to/sold as 750ml to go with most standard liquor bottles (50ml, 100ml, 200ml, 375ml, 750ml, 1.5l, 3.0 l)

Usually you can buy smaller bottles of liquor at the liquor store, those would be the fifth's. (Not the teeny tiny, one shot bottles).
