Recently, I've been opening up a lot of large format wine bottles. Big bottles. 1.5L's, 3L's, and the whatnot. As you know, wines from large bottles often taste better, and it's all very fun to share them with people. Frequently, guests have asked me for the "term" or name for the bottle size I am pouring, and truth be told, I often have trouble remembering past "magnum". So I decided to make myself a shorthand listing of the different names for the bottles, a kind of cheat sheet, that I could keep handy. And I thought I would share that sheet with you, just in case you find yourself in the same situation.
1.5 liter - MAGNUM
3.0 liter - THE SHOCKER
4.5 liter - JIM MORRISON IN A BATHTUB
6.0 liter - REFRIGERATOR PERRY
9 liter - CHRIS FARLEY
15 liter - KIRSTIE ALLEY
18 liter - TRIPLE WHOPPER WITH CHEESE
20 liter - OLD ELVIS
27 liter - JABBA
I hope you find the listing as helpful as I did!
