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 enthusiasts.

Why we love large format bottles:

Preserving wine at its best – Less oxygen exposure means better preservation of the wine. In standard bottles, there is always a small airspace between the wine and enclosure that leads to oxidation of the wine over time. In large format bottles, this airspace is relatively small compared to the volume of wine, resulting in slower 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!

Memories that last – Special occasions deserve to be marked in a special way. Consider having your guests sign a large format bottle with a metallic pen.  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 in life it’s 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. For a limited time, these big bottles are available for 10% off, or 15% off for two or more bottles. There’s no better time to savor the moment, indulge your senses, and revel in the extraordinary with a large format bottle of wine.
