Wine Flows To Resist The Pressure Of The Gas. The Bottom Of The
Bottle Is Reinforced By The Same Reason.
The Merchants Of The Area Normalized By The Nineteenth Century A
Number Of Bottles Of Different Capacities, Which Have Recently
Added Four Enormous Sizes (Solomon, Rulers, Etc..)

"Benjamin"
Average: 37.5 Cl
The Medium: 60 Cl (Disused)

The Solomon: 18 L (24 bottles)
The Sovereign: 26.25 L (35 bottles)
The Primat: 27 L (36 bottles)
The Melchizédec: 30 L (40 bottles)
only the half bottle, bottle and magnum are used to raise the
wine. The other formats are filled with wine and fermented.
Tradition says that the magnum is the ideal size being the size
that best champagne aging.
The sizes of the Solomon onwards, are recent and are considered
a bit extravagant. Sizes exceeding Jeroboam are rare, because
the bottles are unwieldy, fragile and expensive to produce. The
names of Magnum bottles are superior to kings of the bible
except the king and the primates.
