5. Why choose a Magnum
The 1.5L Magnum format is a sommelier favorite for two reasons: the preservation quality (the wine evolves more slowly) and its social value. It is the perfect bottle to uncork at gatherings, where the wine flows to the rhythm of conversation, ensuring no one is left with an empty glass.
