Methuselah

My partner and her husband (my metamour) have a tradition that every 5th wedding anniversary they get the “next size up” of champagne bottle.

This meant that on yesterday, when we celebrated their 15th, we needed to get through a Methuselah: a massive 6 litre bottle equivalent to nine standard bottles of champagne (rightmost in the attached picture).

A half bottle, standard bottle, magnum, Jeroboam, and Methuselah of Bollinger champagne lined up on a window ledge, with a banana for scale.

It’s times like these you’re glad of friends you can call on to help you drink such a monster!
