AIX Rosé Large Format Bottles - Victoria Moore, The Telegraph
With magnums, you really want a wine you can settle into which probably explains why, in summer, the most popular wine to pour from magnum is rosé. Naturally, you can now find the hugely popular La Vieille Ferme (aka Chicken Wine) brand in magnums (Morrisons, £16) while the Provence rosé brand AIX forged its reputation by selling in magnums (Majestic, £36) as well as even bigger bottles; finewinedirect.co.uk has AIX in 3-litre jeroboams as well as 6-litre methuselahs and 15-litre nebuchadnezzars, a show-off size that holds the equivalent of 20 normal bottles of wine, weighs about 38kg and is completely impractical to pour, requiring either a specialist cradle to hold them or a chiropractor to sort your neck out afterwards.
