    Why Bottle Size Matters

    The size of a champagne bottle influences how the champagne ages. Larger bottles often result in better ageing, allowing the champagne to develop richer and more refined flavours due to a more favourable air-to-liquid ratio. A Magnum, for example, is widely considered to produce the finest aged champagne. Champagne Bottle Sizes at Drinks House 247
