Both wine and beer/cider bottles were basically completely non-standardized around then. They were mostly smaller, so with the benefit of the doubt let’s call it about as much as today.
Punch is harder to say. It was somewhere around 5 to 10% alcohol, but unfortunately a punch bowl could be a communal thing, being the size of a large family salad bowl and holding over 5 liters. But punch was also served from those bowel into handheld bowls, which was basically a cup.
Let’s go with the big ones and add a liter of punch each. So that 3 bottles of wine equivalent, 4 whiskey’s and a beer. Not exactly light drinking, but hardly the thing you brag about I would think.
