1. Home
   Start here: every wine bottle size from Piccolo to Melchizedek, with pour counts and party ideas.
2. Split / Piccolo
   The Split, or Piccolo, holds 187.5ml — a quarter bottle of wine in one perfect single-serve pour.
3. Demi / Half Bottle
   The Demi, or half bottle, holds 375ml — exactly half a standard bottle and the perfect size for two.
4. Jennie / Half Litre
   The Jennie holds 500ml — a half litre of wine that pours 3–4 glasses, right between a demi and a full bottle.
5. Standard Bottle
   The standard 750ml wine bottle: why it became the global benchmark, and the theories behind the magic number.
6. Litre Bottle
   The 1-litre wine bottle: a full litre of wine pouring 7–8 glasses — one extra round for the table.
7. Magnum
   The Magnum holds 1.5 litres — two full bottles — and is prized by collectors because wine ages more gracefully in it.

   The Double Magnum — called Jeroboam in still wine — holds 3 litres: four standard bottles and 20–24 glasses.
9. Rehoboam
   The Rehoboam holds 4.5 litres — six standard bottles and 30–36 glasses of celebration.

12. Balthazar
    The Balthazar holds 12 litres — sixteen standard bottles and 80–96 glasses of pure ceremony.
13. Nebuchadnezzar
    The Nebuchadnezzar holds 15 litres — twenty standard bottles and 100–120 glasses. The heavyweight champion of wine.

18. Champagne Bottles
    Large-format sparkling, from Magnums to the great Nebuchadnezzar lineups.
19. Bottle Shapes

    The king of bottles: 40 standard bottles in a single, person-sized vessel.
21. Midas (30L)
    Liquid gold — the Champagne world’s name for the 30-litre giant.
