The 12 Liter that Leo brought to Berserkerfest 2.5 was pretty heavy.
Tikal Amorio malbec was an insanely heavy bottle. I don’t remember the weight, nor do I think I am willing to open another and find out.
Shafer’s HSS is definitely a heavier bottle. Mission Hill’s Oculus is a big boy as well!
I find it odd that Au Bon Climat uses some absolutely mammoth oversized bottles for some (though not most) of their wines. I guess we all tend to think of oversized bottles being for huge modern blockbusters, not for restrained old school wines.
I had a bottle of this recently and noted how heavy it was, so I took a pic of this full bottle
recently purchased a bottle of nine suns and the first thing i noticed was how the bottle was so light compared to most of the $250+ wines. was a refreshing change to be honest. personally, i think they are unnecessary.
Don’t have the weight, but mer soleil Chardonnay uses a ceramic bottle… I remember it felt heavy as if were cement.
