Jeroboam
Jeroboam wine bottle meaning
Jeroboam is a context-dependent bottle name. The official Comité Champagne sequence defines a Jeroboam as 3 liters, equal to four 750 mL bottles. Many still-wine reference charts—especially in a Bordeaux context—use Jeroboam for 4.5 liters, equal to six 750 mL bottles.
Jeroboam size at a glance
| Naming context | Capacity | Standard 750 mL bottles |
|---|---|---|
| Champagne | 3 L | 4 |
| Many Bordeaux / still-wine charts | 4.5 L | 6 |
These are naming conventions, not a guarantee for every bottle sold as a Jeroboam. Read the net contents on the label or producer specification and state both the liters and the wine context.
The wine bottle sizes chart places both naming conventions beside the full Champagne sequence.
