What is a magnum bottle of wine?

A magnum wine bottle contains 1.5 liters – exactly twice the size of a standard 0.75-liter bottle. The word “magnum” comes from Latin and literally means “large”. In the wine world, this bottle size symbolizes luxury, quality, and aging potential. Magnum bottles have existed for centuries and became especially popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, when wineries in Bordeaux and Champagne used these larger formats to showcase their top wines. Not only did such a bottle make a striking impression at the table, but people also discovered that wine often matures more beautifully in a magnum than in smaller bottles. To this day, many renowned wineries release their best vintages and cuvées in magnum format – often in limited editions.

 

Why choose a magnum bottle?

A magnum bottle holds 1.5 liters of wine and is more than just a showpiece on the table. This double-sized standard bottle not only offers an impressive presentation but also allows the wine to age more gracefully.  A magnum bottle matures differently than a standard wine bottle because the ratio between oxygen and wine is more favourable: there is relatively less oxygen in the bottle compared to the larger amount of wine. This ensures a slower and more even maturation process. The wine develops more subtly as a result, retains its freshness and complexity for longer, and often achieves a more refined flavour profile. This slower evolution is particularly effective in wines for laying down, such as red Bordeaux or vintage Champagne.

 

Magnum bottles are loved by collectors, sommeliers, and connoisseurs. And for good reason:

    1. Better aging: Thanks to the larger volume, wine matures more slowly and often more complexly.
  2. Perfect for parties and dinners: One magnum equals 10 to 12 glasses – ideal for larger gatherings.
  3. Longer shelf life: Slower oxidation allows magnum bottles to stay drinkable for longer.
  4. Exclusivity: Many top estates only bottle their best vintages in magnum format.

wine advice

Wine comes in every style and flavor. At Grandcruwijnen you’ll find more than 3,000 bottles. Classics, surprises, and rare gems. A world of taste in one place.

Wines from the most famous wine countries

At Grandcruwijnen you’ll find wines from France, Italy, and Spain, but also from Germany, Switzerland, and Chile. Whether you’re looking for a powerful Bordeaux, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire, or an elegant Nebbiolo from Piedmont, you can find it all in one overview. That diversity makes our collection so exciting. You can keep tasting and comparing without getting bored.

Red wine for every moment

Red wine remains the heart of the cellar for many wine lovers. Classic wines like Rioja and Barolo stand next to modern blends from Chile and Argentina. Light and fruity or full and bold, there’s always a style that fits your taste or dish. Thanks to the wide selection, it’s easy to vary and find new favorites.

White wine in every style

From crisp, citrus-driven wines from cool climates to rich, oak-aged Chardonnays, the choice is huge. Think of German Rieslings with lively acidity or a Chenin Blanc from the Loire with more roundness. Fans of aromatic grapes like Gewürztraminer or Grüner Veltliner will also feel at home. The nice part: you’ll always find something that fits the season or your mood.

Sparkling wine and champagne

A festive moment often calls for bubbles. The sparkling wine page includes a mix of well-known champagnes, refined cavas, and surprising crémants. Prosecco is also there, as well as some unique sparkling wines from lesser-known regions. Perfect for a toast or simply when you’re in the mood for something fresh and lively.

Rosé and lighter styles

Rosé is no longer just for summer. From Provence to Tavel and from pale salmon pink to deeper-colored styles, the choice is wide. Whatever your taste - dry and crisp or a fruitier style - there’s always something to enjoy. A great way to alternate between white and red.

Special wines and sweet styles

Next to the classics, there’s also space for sweet wines like Sauternes or Tokaji, and fortified wines such as Port and Sherry. This completes the selection and makes it easy to try something different. Especially with desserts or cheese, these wines can finish a meal beautifully.
