But people were still way, way more excited to drink out of magnums — the big bottles that hold 1.5 liters of wine — than they had ever been about the two or three regular - sized bottles I had brought to the same soirees time and time again.
At 1.5 liters, one magnum is the equivalent to two bottles of wine, making them a most excellent choice for everything from intimate dinner parties to backyard BBQs to total ragers.
