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.
It fluctuates a lot, Southern states have virtually no tax on alcohol and up here it can push past 50%. I rarely pay more than $20-25 for a case (24-ct) of decent pilsner so it's still not too bad.
