It's Magnum Month at Rubino!

It is Magnum Month at Rubino Estates, and we could not be more excited about the offerings we have for you. We tend to get many questions about the benefits of larger formats versus regular 750-milliliter wine bottles, so we thought we would share some helpful information about magnums. 

They are Rare

Most wineries bottle a limited quantity of magnums, and they are often reserved for showcasing outstanding vintages, for marking a winery's anniversary, or for donating to charity auctions and events.

Higher Quality Wine

The aging of wine is accelerated when exposed to oxygen, also known as oxidation. There is a small amount of oxygen trapped inside every wine bottle, and a larger wine bottle has less oxygen relative to the volume of wine. This means that the wine oxidizes more slowly. Slower oxidation often translates into better maturation and higher quality wine.

Better Aging Potential

If you want to put a bottle away for a grand occasion many years in the future, a magnum is a great option. Slower oxidation means that the magnum will reach its peak long after 750-milliliter bottles have reached their prime. 

Resistance to Temperature Fluctuations

The larger volume of liquid in a magnum takes longer to warm or cool and is, therefore, more resistant to potentially damaging temperature fluctuations. 

They're Impressive

There is nothing like bringing out a magnum at a celebration. Whether it is a wedding or an anniversary party, they are an impressive sight to see.
