Rehoboam

The name of an oversized bottle for a champagne with a volume of four and a half litres or the content of six standard 0.75 litre bottles. However, the name is not origin-protected, but can be used freely for sparkling wines or wines. In Bordeaux, however, this oversized bottle is confusingly referred to as Jeroboam (Jeroboam) for still wines. The name Rehoboam is derived from the ruler of the same name (he reigned 931-914 BC), who succeeded his father Solomon (970-931 BC) as king of Judah and Israel. Under his adversary Jeroboam, ten tribes seceded a year later and founded the Northern Kingdom of Israel as an independent state (map left). See a list of all large formats and bottle types under Bottles and also under Wine Vessels.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
