Vikram Aditya Singh

Many moons ago in the pre-google era (late 1990's), I was quizzed in an interview about Champagne Bottle sizes, and to their surprise, I knew the answer. For those interested, here are the traditional sizes up to the Nebuchadnezzar, with recent additions by some houses:
- Quarter bottle: 200ml (1 flute)
- Demi: 375ml (3 flutes)
- Medium: 500ml (5 flutes)
- Standard: 750ml (6 flutes)
- Magnum: 1.5L (2 bottles, 12 flutes)
- Jeroboam: 3L (4 bottles, 24 flutes)
- Rehoboam: 4.5L (6 bottles, 36 flutes)
- Mathusalem: 6L (8 bottles, 48 flutes)
- Salmanazar: 9L (12 bottles, 72 flutes)
- Balthazar: 12L (16 bottles, 96 flutes)
- Nebuchadnezzar: 15L (20 bottles, 120 flutes)
- Solomon: 18L (24 bottles, 144 flutes)
- Sovereign: 26.25L (35 bottles, 210 flutes)
