Haha decided to correct my limited & erroneous knowledge of wine bottle sizes. Interesting that a number of biblical names were used..

1.5 Liters Magnum Two standard bottles in one

3.0 Liters Double Magnum Equivalent of 4 standard bottles

4.5 - 5 Liters Jeroboam Two sizes: or Rehoboam for sparkling wine Jeroboam (3.0 Liters) is equal to 4 standard bottles; Still wine Jeroboam (4.5) equivalent to 6 standard bottles. You can, sometimes, find a 5.0 liter Jeroboam
