Magnums of Wine
Magnums & Other Large Formats
Magnums of wine truly make the perfect gathering, creating celebratory moments of shared joy between family and friends. Double the size of standard wine bottles, magnums are not only a larger vessel, they’re a testament to scientific success. The lower ratio of oxygen to liquid in a magnum gracefully encourages slower ageing, creating a harmonious ensemble of aromatic purity, complexity and unparalleled depth. Magnums of wine bountifully express the fine nuances lost to standard bottles.
Magnums of wine are ideal for groups of four to eight, as the warming of the wine in a bottle of this size is no match for the continuous pour of the party. A standard bottle could feel too fleeting, and a jeroboam can almost seem comical. But the practicality of its grandeur in a group of this size makes a magnum a perfect treat.
