One bottle of decent wine (750 cl): 9.6 US$
One bottle of decent whisky (700 cl): 36.2 US$

Note that the Swedish currency is unusually strong against the dollar atm, so the prices are usually slightly lower in American currency, but you get the general picture.
In Australia, alcohol is pretty heavily taxed. What constitutes 'decent' whiskey though?

The beer I posted above was $19.50 au for a 6 pack for example.
