New wine bottle holds 1200 glasses
The 153kg bottle was the work of master glass blowers in the Czech Republic, and holds the equivalent of 173 standard bottles of Beringer Vineyards 2001 Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. That translates to 1200 glasses of wine.
The bottle, dubbed Maximus, was certified as the world’s largest by the Guinness World Records. The Morton’s steakhouse chain, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, partnered with California-based Beringer to create the record-setting bottle.
