Why We Love Large Format Bottles

Beyond the generous volume, what are the benefits of large format bottles of wine? While the sheer quantity of wine may be enticing in itself, there are compelling reasons why big bottles are a stellar choice for wine lovers.

Why we love large format bottles:

Preserving wine at its best – In every bottle of wine, there is a small airspace between the wine and the enclosure (cork or screw cap), which leads to oxidation over time.  Less oxygen exposure means better preservation of the wine. In large format bottles, this airspace is relatively small compared to the overall volume of wine, resulting in slower oxidation and thus slow aging. Wines in these bottles tend to taste younger for longer. 

Perfect for a grand affair – If you’re hosting a big party or dinner for more than a couple guests, a large format bottle is the perfect choice as you can pour a glass for each guest from one big bottle instead of opening up multiples.

Memories that last – Special occasions deserve to be marked in a special way. We love having our guests at a special party sign the large format bottle with a metallic pen to commemorate the event.  When the last glass has been poured, the bottle becomes a memento of the occasion.

Be the star of the show – For those who enjoy making a statement and being the life of the party, serving a large format bottle is a surefire way to turn heads. Pour with flair and enjoy the spotlight!

Just because – Feeling frivolous? Sometimes life is about embracing indulgences. A large format bottle can make an ordinary event come to life and feel extraordinary. Why not seize the opportunity to enjoy a unique and memorable experience?

We offer large format bottles of our Pinot Noir Reserve and Tall Poppy, with only limited vintages available.
