GRGR(10): Jeroboam

[David Morris]

It seems that all the bottle sizes bigger than a magnum are named after Old 
Testament figures.

Champagne comes in many sizes, most of which exist only as novelties, or in 
memory. But the official classings run as follows:

Split.................Two glasses
Bottle................Five glasses
Magnum................Ten glasses
Jeroboam..............21 glasses
Rehoboam..............31 glasses
Methuselah............41 glasses
Salmanazar............62 glasses
Balthazar.............83 glasses
Nebuchadnezzar........104 glasses
