It's a 750 ml. It refers to the size in ounces (more accurately, to the size of similar bottles before metric was adopted; a 750 is actually around 25.5 oz).
I didn't know that about liquor bottles in the UK. They also have a standard size of 750 ml in the US, though there are also smaller and bigger bottles.

It refers to 26 fluid ounces which is ~770ml, so the closest size in round metric numbers 750ml. A 700ml bottle would only be about 24oz.

Looks like 26 oz is about 769ml, so maybe the 750 is a "close enough" equivalent?

I don't think I've ever seen a 700ml bottle. Only 500 and 750

Almost all wine bottles if they count

Oh yeah, so they are. Liquor bottles in the uk are 700ml. I got it the wrong way around

The thought of calling a bottle of wine a twosix is hilarious to me

750 mL is about 25½ fl. oz.
