Wine contains anywhere from 9% to 15% alcohol by volume,
but the norm is 11 -12%, with sparkling wines / Champagnes
having 12 - 13%.
In contrast, beers have an average alcohol content of 3 -
5%, while (in India) all spirits have a mandated alcohol content
of 42.8% v/v
In terms of drinking (alcohol content):
one bottle of beer = 2 glasses of wine
= one large peg of liquor

Of course, the rate of inebriation for an individual is affected
by various other factors including: body mass, age, dilution
of the beverage, rate of consumption, food eaten earlier /
with the beverage, mood, temperament, etc.,
