A typical beer will have 5% alcohol, while wine hovers between 12% and 14% with a serving size of five ounces. A bottle of 12% wine is the same as five servings of 5% ABV beer.

Wine typically comes in 25-ounce bottles and beer comes in 12-ounce cans. Beyond matching liquid volume, the alcohol content between beer and wine must be considered.

Think of it like this: a 12-ounce pour with 5% ABV, a 5-ounce glass of wine at 12% ABV, and 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits at 40% ABV all count as one serving of each drink.
