IIRC, wine actually keeps better in larger volumes, so there is a certain logic to it.

Yeah but the reason for ^that is just for presentation or some such bks.

I mean champagne in a normal sized bottle can be a b!tch to pour, especially if you've had a couple already. I can see half of that party bottle ending up on the floor. Or is that just my parties?

they sell that exact bottle pictured above at my local,

its £1300 a bottle and two people struggle to pick it up let alone pour it!

its the same as 20 normall bottles apparently

I thought the Jeroboam appeared in the 19th century, with the Rehoboams and Methuselahs being introduced in the late 1940s early 1950s, I think they abandoned the larger production of Nebuchadnezzars and then started production of Salmanazars in the early 1970s.

Wow, you know your stuff.

So does anyone have the complete scale? From single bottle up to big bd!

The observant among you will notice that some of the labels have fallen off this diagram.
