A magnum bottle of wine holds 1.5 litres (that’s the equivalent of two standard bottles!), making it ideal for gatherings, dinner parties, or simply for ageing gracefully in your collection. Many winemakers say that wines mature better in larger formats, so a magnum wine bottle isn’t just fun to share, it can also offer a more refined drinking experience.
From magnum red wine for hearty meals, to refreshing magnum white wine and summer-ready magnum rosé wine, our collection has something for every occasion. Whether you’re looking for a standout red wine magnum for the table, a magnum bottle of Champagne for celebrations, or even a double magnum to impress at a party, these larger formats bring both style and substance.

Why choose a magnum wine bottle over a regular one?

Is a magnum good for ageing wine?
Yes, many experts believe that magnum size wine develops more complexity over time because of the slower oxidation process. This means magnums are often considered the best format for ageing fine wines.
