What is a "balthazar"?
A balthazar is an exceptionally large-sized bottle used for holding wine. The exact volume can vary depending on the region and type of wine, but in general, a balthazar typically holds 12 liters which is the equivalent of sixteen standard bottles. Balthazar-sized bottles are extremely rare and are usually reserved for very special occasions or events where a massive quantity of wine is needed to serve a large number of guests.
