Solomon · 20L · 26⅔ Bottles

A Journey Through Glass

Twenty litres of prestige. One hundred thirty-three to 160 glasses. More than two full cases in a single bottle. The Solomon is named for King Solomon — famed for his wisdom, his wealth, and (presumably) his very large banquets.

The Solomon occupies a fascinating niche: bigger than the Melchior, smaller than the Sovereign, and rarer than both. It’s primarily a Champagne showpiece format, released in strictly limited numbers by houses that want to make the ultimate statement about a prestige cuvée. You won’t find a Solomon on a shelf; you’ll find it under a spotlight.

At 20 litres, the Solomon weighs roughly 28 kg (60+ lbs) full and stands about a metre tall — a glass tower that requires the full giant-bottle service protocol: cradle, crew, reinforced table, and an audience that understands what it’s witnessing. Opening one is less a pour and more a coronation.

The biblical Solomon was said to host banquets of legendary scale, with provisions arriving daily by the cartload. Three thousand years later, his namesake bottle keeps the tradition alive: 160 glasses is a banquet by any definition, and the Solomon delivers it from a single, magnificent vessel.

Auction-house showpiece energy: when a Solomon crosses the block, the room pays attention. When one gets opened, the room erupts.
