What better occasion than a party that uncork one magnum size wine bottle? And so since Christmas is New Year are now coming, let's get organized to buy one to serve if necessary or to give to someone special.

Magnum is better

A magnum it's not just a scene when it is brought to the table, it's not just useful because generally during the holidays there are many. The wine contained in a bottle of this size is better of what you can drink from traditional bottles. Did you know? The greater dimension contrasts indeed oxidation of wines. He had even established a study of the Department of Agricultural, Food and Agri-Environmental Sciences of the University of Pisa, which had analyzed four wines (a white, a rosé, a new red and a structured red), noting that in the magnum there is the best relationship between volume of wine and the surface exposed to oxidation.

From champagne to precious red

Generally the magnum format has a capacity of 1.5 liters, double compared to the traditional 0.75 liter bottle, but there are also even more special formats like the Jeroboam, equal to three liters or 4 bottles, and the Mathusalem, equal to six liters of wine or 8 bottles. You just have to choose your favorite magnum. Where is it? In Eataly wine shops, you can find a great selection of magnums, with over 200 labels, but if you want to be traditionalists, you can opt for some bubbles, choosing from more than 100 labels. For a perfect toast you can consider a Franciacorta, a Trentodoc or again, a Alta Langa or a Champagne. For a lunch or a party dinner there are also fine reds as bordeaux, barolo, brunello, amarone, and elegant white, from chardonnay to riesling up to sauvignon. And if they find it of all prices! From 20 euros upwards.

Do not you want to go out? Nothing strange! For the Finns, relaxing in the home is the top. And the trend now also depopulated by us

The new trend from Finland

It's called Kalsarikännit, comes from Finland and is a new trend, or the art of dedicating themselves to relaxing in the home, after an intense and stressful day, wearing comfortable clothes (pajamas or just underwear), doing what we like best , sipping some wine or a drink (do not exaggerate!) and with no intention of going out. Better yet, then, if you are alone.
