Since I'm making a barrel of the iconic red wine Cabernet Sauvignon, I thought it would be fun to bottle a large format bottle. So far I have received or bottled 220ml (my wife calls the "why bother" size), 375ml, 750ml and the 1500ml. Got it, from mini to magnum. So, I decided I wanted to go bigger and of course the first place I look is Craigslist. It took a few weeks, but I scored a Double Magnum 3,000ml (4 bottles of wine) for $5.
I found that these big format bottles all have some weird names tied to random things, this one a Jeroboam.
It will take some label removing, PBW on the inside and figuring out a cork and capsule, but should be fun to break out at a big party some time. Pictures to come.
