About Magnum and Large Format Wine Bottles
A large format wine bottle is any bottle bigger than the standard 750 ml. The most popular is the magnum, a 1.5 L bottle that holds the same as two regular bottles. Big bottles are made for celebrations: they pour for a whole table, look dramatic on a gift table, and the wine ages more slowly inside them. Most bottles here can be personalized with a printed custom label or engraved with a name, date or message, and orders are delivered in 3 to 6 business days.
Large Format Wine Bottle Sizes
- Standard (750 ml): 1 bottle, about 5 glasses.
- Magnum (1.5 L): 2 bottles, about 10 glasses.
- Double magnum (3 L): 4 bottles, about 20 glasses. In Champagne the 3 L bottle is called a Jeroboam.

Magnum Wine Bottle FAQs

A magnum holds 1.5 liters, the same as two standard 750 ml bottles, which pours about 10 glasses.

The largest standard size is the Melchizedek at 30 liters, or 40 regular bottles. Our biggest bottles are 3 L double magnums of Silver Oak.
Is a big bottle of wine better?
Wine in a magnum ages more slowly and evenly than in a standard bottle because there is less air for each glass of wine, which is why collectors prize them.
