Magnums

Magnum bottles, holding the equivalent of two standard 750ml bottles (1.5 litres), are a popular choice for celebrations, gifts and serious wine collectors alike. Beyond their impressive presence on the table, magnums offer a genuine quality benefit: the larger volume of wine relative to the surface area of cork exposed to air means wine ages more slowly and evenly in magnum format, often developing greater complexity over time compared to the same wine in a standard bottle. This makes magnums a favourite among collectors for cellaring age-worthy reds, Champagne and other sparkling wines. Magnums are also ideal for entertaining, providing enough wine for a larger group from a single, striking bottle that makes a memorable centrepiece for parties, weddings and special dinners. Our magnum selection includes a range of styles and regions, from celebratory sparkling wines to robust reds built for the cellar. At Wines Direct, we offer a selection of magnum format wines.
