This is a classic problem of liquid transfer between two containers. Initially, we have 1 liter of wine in one bottle and 1 liter of water in the other bottle.

Step 1: Transfer 1/2 liter of water to the wine bottle.
Wine bottle: 1 liter of wine + 0.5 liters of water
Water bottle: 0.5 liters of water

Step 2: Mix thoroughly.
The wine bottle now contains a mixture that is 1/3 water and 2/3 wine.

Step 3: Transfer 1/2 liter of the mixture back to the water bottle.
Water transferred in: 1/3 * 0.5 = 1/6 liters
Wine transferred in: 2/3 * 0.5 = 1/3 liters

Final contents in the wine bottle:
- Wine: 2/3 liters
- Water: 1/3 liters

Final contents in the water bottle:
- Water: 0.5 + 1/6 = 2/3 liters
- Wine: 1/3 liters

More water is left in the: water bottle (2/3 liters)

Amount of wine left in the: water bottle (1/3 liters)

Therefore, both bottles end up with equal amounts of 'foreign' liquid.

{Answer:} The water bottle has more water left, 2/3 liters of water, and there is 1/3 liters of wine in the water bottle.
