Champagne is one of the most fun things to drink, especially with a large group. It doesn't matter if it's with clients, colleagues, family or friends? the feeling is the same. Festive and Fun.
Large formats, that range from 1.5L up to 18L (that's 2 cases in one bottle), also have great names that add to the fun.
1.5L - Magnum (16 glasses)
3L - Jeroboam (32 glasses)
4.5L - Rehoboam (48 glasses)
6L - Methuselah (64 glasses)
9L - Salmanazar (96 glasses)
12L - Balthazar (128 glasses)
15L - Nebuchadnezzar (160 glasses)
18L - Melchior (192 glasses)
I was just recently at an event with 30 other guests and a 9L of Bollinger Special Cuvee - what a great wine. This non-vintage Champagne is truly a great balance of finesse and power. Beautiful citrus notes marry seamlessly with yeasty toast. Muscular and bold on the palate, yet finishes with great acidity and length. An absolute treat.
And without much surprise, within an hour or two, it was GONE! That's right, we drank the whole thing without even blinking, and then continued into a five course dinner paired with great wines from around the world.
With the holidays quickly approaching, what a great time to grab a large format! Depending on the size of your party or get-together, you have many options. Here at Sokolin Wines we stock a great selection of large formats that could be perfect for your next social event. Just give us a call or send an email, and we'll be happy to help you with your exact bubbly needs. Life is short, have some fun. Be festive.
