Magnum wine, the large 1.5-litre format
The magnum is the most iconic of all large-format bottles. With a capacity of 1.5 litres, equivalent to two standard 75 cl bottles, it offers an ideal balance between elegant service, conviviality and ageing potential.
Buying a magnum of wine online means choosing a refined format, suited to dinners, celebrations and fine bottles intended to evolve in the cellar. Its capacity allows for around ten glasses, depending on the pour size.
The spirit of the magnum
The magnum combines presence, balance and ease of service. More generous than a standard bottle without becoming imposing, it brings a festive and elegant dimension to the table while remaining easy to share.
Buying a magnum in Switzerland
Our selection of magnums highlights bottles chosen for their origin, condition, vintage and tasting interest. Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône Valley, Italy and other great wine regions offer cuvées particularly well suited to this format.
The magnum is ideal for dinners among wine lovers, gifts, birthdays, receptions and cellaring. It allows one wine to be served with excellent continuity, in a format immediately recognisable and appreciated by connoisseurs.
A format appreciated for cellaring
The magnum is often preferred for wines intended to age. Its larger volume, combined with a lower proportion of oxygen under the cork, generally encourages slower and more regular evolution than in a standard bottle.
This gradual maturation can help preserve the wine’s balance, structure and aromatic complexity. For great estates and sought-after vintages, the magnum is therefore a particularly interesting cellar format.
Capacity: 1.5 litres, equivalent to 2 bottles of 75 cl.

Choosing a magnum according to the occasion
For a dinner: choose a magnum ready to drink, suited to the menu and number of guests.
For a gift: favour a recognisable estate, an interesting vintage and a well-presented bottle.
For a cellar: select an age-worthy cuvée with reliable provenance.
For a celebration: choose Champagne, a great red wine or a gastronomic white in magnum.
Provenance and conservation
For an older magnum or a bottle from a sought-after vintage, provenance and storage conditions are essential. Fill level, label condition, cork and capsule should all be examined carefully.
These elements help assess the true potential of the bottle, whether it is intended for near-term tasting or longer cellaring. In great vintages, a well-preserved magnum can offer a particularly harmonious experience.
Magnum, between elegance and conviviality
At the table, the magnum brings immediate presence without excess. It allows a great wine to be shared with several guests in a generous, harmonious format perfectly suited to important moments. When it comes from a recognised estate or a sought-after vintage, it becomes both a bottle for service and a cellar piece.
