What is a "magnum"?
A magnum is a large-sized bottle commonly used for alcoholic beverages, particularly wine and champagne. It typically holds 1.5 liters which is the equivalent of two standard bottles. Magnum bottles are often favored for special occasions, gatherings, or for aging wine due to their larger volume, which can result in slower aging and potentially better preservation of the beverage's qualities. In addition to wine and champagne, magnum-sized bottles may also be used for other alcoholic beverages, such as spirits or beer, though less commonly.
