Available in every shape
Of course, options are available for the other originally French bottles – the Bordeaux bottle, a large bottle format like a magnum bottle. Storage benefits, high recognition value and familiarity are also particularly attractive aspects to consider. The following models are available in Bordeaux formats:
- 1.5 litres: magnum bottle = 2 bottles, the amount that Goethe was said to drink of an evening from the Würzburger Stein vineyard.
- 3 litres: double magnum = 4 bottles
- 4.5 litres: Jeroboam (old size) = 6 bottles
- 5.0 litres: Jeroboam (modern size, since circa 1978)
- 6 litres: Methusalem = 8 bottles
- 9 litres: Salmanassar = 12 bottles
- 12 litres: Balthazar = 16 bottles
- 15 litres: Nebuchadnezzar (as a rule for champagnes or Bordeaux, sometimes Burgundies) = 20 bottles
