Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut, 37.5cl

Product Information

Clavelin Full: 620ml This seldom seen wine bottle size is used for Vin Juane, the yellow wine of the Jura region of France. It’s not only large format wine bottles that vary in size, there are smaller wine bottles that come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes as well. Part of the reason the particular shaped bottle was easily adopted in Bordeaux is due to the fact that the bottle design was invented by Pierre Mitchell, who was also the owner of Chateau du Tertre in Margaux. Practicality comes into play in Champagne because the bottles needed to be stronger, due to the pressures coming from the effervescence in Champagne. This can be a very practical wine bottle size for those who wouldn’t drink a whole bottle in one sitting, or if you wanted more than one type of wine.

It is to be expected with fine champagne that there is some variation from bottle to bottle — this is actually a good thing as it signifies artisanship — but when you’ve got multiple of the same bottle open and being passed around, you don’t want small pours of each here and there to amount to something in the glass that’s not quite true to taste. In the Southern Rhone Valley, some Chateauneuf du Pape producers use short, squat shaped bottles, for example Gardine uses a unique short, squat shaped bottle.

What this means is that oxidation occurs much more slowly, rendering the wine fresher for longer and allowing its development over the years to happen more gradually. Today the pear bottle is the preferred shape by most produces of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in countries all over the world.Holding 500 ml of wine, the 50 cl bottle, also known as Half-liter or Jennie, is used for sweet wines such as Jerez and Tokaj. This bottle contains the amount of wine you’d get in a case of standard-sized bottles, and we find that it’s more than enough for any large-scale event! This takes because because the more air the surface of the wine is exposed to, the faster the wine is going to develop.

Jennie: 500ml – This uncommon wine bottle size is used most often for sweet, dessert styled wines from Tokaji, Sauternes and its surrounding areas or Jerez. Though mags are twice the volume, they have the same ullage (space between the bottom of the cork and surface of the wine) as 750s. Even if you’re not someone looking to round out a champagne collection, but wondering about larger formats for entertaining, mags are still your best friend. What’s even more fascinating about wine bottle sizes is that there’s a unique name behind each size. Magnums are the largest bottle size in which the whole production process of champagne can occur, meaning there is no transfer necessary.

Keep in mind that some connoisseurs think that the sparkling wine won’t be as good from bigger bottles, losing most of its bubbles during the fermentation.

It would make it so much easier to have standard sizes when it comes to storing your favorite wine in your wine rack.

But, you’ve also got to take into consideration that different wines do come in bottles varying in shape and size. On the plus side, large format bottles, due to the thicker glass, and the volume of wine inside the bottle are less likely to experience temperature variations. The Sovereign is listed in the OCW as 34 bottles “in theory”, but direct communication with Taittinger, possibly the only producer to use this size, confirms it at 35 bottles. The shape of the bottle is also determined by the type of wine being bottled and the regions producing the wines.
