The Magnum Bottle
The bottle size of a Magnum bottle influences the flavour quality of a wine. The same blend generally tastes more harmonious when it comes from a large wine bottle than when it has been poured from a 0.75l bottle and also matures better in the larger kind. The choice of a Magnum bottle hints at a sophisticated content. They are usually pricier in the production than their normal-sized counterpart which is why winemakers will only pour their best wines into a Magnum bottle. The wine is perfectly protected in it because the thicker and therefore darker glass lets less light shine through. In larger containers, the maturation process is slowed down which is indeed wanted with good vintages. A wine’s quality in such a large size generally increases since in relation to the content, less oxygen touches the wine and it can therefore ripen more gently. A Magnum bottle is suited for larger parties, for example, birthdays, weddings or New Year’s Eve and is downright ideal for noble Collector’s Editions since their value significantly increases with time. At special occasions, the Magnum bottle makes quite the impression and stylishly upgrades every party. It stands for the special aspect of the day and underlines the festive occasion with its elegance.
