I found some other bottle sizes in the Containers and Measures section of Lichine's Encyclopedia, 3'rd ed., 1981.
Alsace: 360 and 720 ml; Beaujolais: 'Pot' 500 ml; Bordeaux: Marie-Jeanne - 2.50 L; Port: Tappit Hen - 2.27 L; Sherry: 378.6, 757.5 ml; U.S.: tenth - 378.6 ml; U.S.: fifth - 757.2 ml; U.S.: magnum - 1.51 L
Lichine gives the following note:
"NOTE: Basic metric capacities, and in some cases ounces, upon which most figures in this table are based, are those fixed by law. Actual contents will almost always vary because of differences in corking space."
Lichine also gives both U.S. and British ounces in this table as well as both U.S. and British volumes in gallon-quart-pint-ounce format.
The word ounce may cause some confusion for those who have only used metric measures. First, there are ounces used to measure weight and fluid ounces to measure volume. Then there are both U.S. and British versions of each of these that are somewhat different.
The two German wines offered in 500 ml format that I mentioned are:
Forster Kirchensück Riesling Auslese 2002, Eugen Müller - 500 ml.
Rüdesheimer Burg Rottland Riesling Auslese 2002, Josef Leitz.
