The larger the capacity of the bottle, the rarer they are to find!
A Magnum Bottle (1.5-litre capacity) has distinct advantages. It’s the perfect bottle for serving at special events and occasions.
Why it is better than a standard one? A Magnum bottle is considered being better for a number of reasons, apart from its attractive presentation and impressive size.
Magnum Wine Bottles enable a superior maturation. A larger bottle contains less oxygen in relation to the total amount of wine it contains. Due to less air existing between the cork and the wine, there is less oxidation and at a slower rate.
Wine in larger format, age more slowly and can even develop greater complexity and more nuances than in a smaller size. Also, with its thicker glass and more volume of wine inside, a Magnum is less likely to undergo variations in temperature. The bottle itself is more resistant and highly suitable for storage and cellaring.
Why are Magnum Wine Bottles more expensive?
Magnums are special, and they may work out more expensive per litre than a standard. The production costs of this large format are considerably more than for the ordinary size, but to offset that, the wine itself can taste better and proves perfect for longer cellaring.
