when the brew is ready for bottling is it ok to transfer into sterilized 3 litre wine bottles to drink out of?
 
To drink out of yes, but don't use them to condition (ie pressurize) unless they are meant to take pressure like champagne bottles.

If they are not meant to take it they can explode which sends shards of glass everywhere - extremely dangerous.

Ask your LHBS for 500 ml PET bottles and caps. Or in a pinch, use PET pop bottles that were used for soda water or similar flavourless pop.
