Wine Peeps is an independent wine blog dedicated to helping you get the most bang for your buck in wine. We do this through blind tastings of wine from around the world and calculations of Quality-to-Price Ratios (QPRs). We have a special interest in Washington State wines.
This week’s Wine Word of the Week is large format.
Official definition from Jancis Robinson’s The Oxford Companion to Wine:
Large format is a bottle size larger than the standard 75 cl size and of particular interest to collectors and investors (provided it is filled with fine wine).
Layman’s terms from Kori:
Large format is any wine bottle larger than the standard 750 ml bottle.
