וְ⁠הַשְׁקוֹת֙

and,drinks_~_served

The abstract noun serving refers to how the drinks were served at the banquet. You can translate it with a verb by saying, “The attendants served wine.”

וְ⁠כֵלִ֖ים מִ⁠כֵּלִ֣ים שׁוֹנִ֑ים

and,goblets of,goblets different

This could mean that “no two of them were alike.” But you could also just say that the wine was served in “various kinds of golden cups.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠יֵ֥ין מַלְכ֛וּת רָ֖ב כְּ⁠יַ֥ד הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

and=wine royal lavished according_to,bounty the,king's

This means that King Ahasuerus himself paid for all the wine that the guests drank at his seven-day feast in Susa, and the wine came from his personal supply. Alternate translation: “the king was very generous with the royal wine” or “the king showed a great willingness to give” or “the king provided all of it”

וְ⁠יֵ֥ין מַלְכ֛וּת רָ֖ב כְּ⁠יַ֥ד הַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

This probably means special fine wine that only the king could acquire and afford. You can translate the abstract noun royalty with an adjective. Alternate translation: “royal wine”
