Size does matter! | 大小之分
If you are a lan kwai fong-habitué, or live long enough in Hong Kong, you may have heard of a night club namely Magnum. (Not an ad.) More than a showy emblem, Magnum actually refers to one of the sizes of a Champagne bottle (See Figure). Typically, a Magnum-size Champagne would offer twelve servings – or one. The size apparently determines the amount of liquor; Meanwhile, it also affects the quality to a lesser extent. In general, the larger the bottle, the better the quality.
For your kind information, the largest size possible at this moment is 15L, ostentatiously named Nebuchadnezzar.
| Size 尺碼 | Volume 容量 |
| Split | ¼ Bottle |
| Half | ½ Bottle |
| Standard | 1 Bottle |
| Magnum | 2 Bottles |
| Jeroboam | 4 Bottles |
如果你是蘭桂坊常客，或者在香港居住過一段時間，你應聽聞過一間名Magnum 的夜店。Magnum 其實是香檳樽其中一個尺碼（見圖）。普遍來說，Magnum碼的香檳可以供十二人飲用 － 或者一人。誠然，尺碼決定了香檳的份量，但其實也會稍微影響香檳的質素。一般而言，香檳樽愈大，質素愈好。
僅作參考，最大的香檳樽是15公升，而它的名字是Nebuchadnezzar。
