So I have only owned maybe 1 dozen magnums, and then only for "party" wines where I know many people will be sharing. So sparkling wine or Bordeaux when we're having red meat. So I guess my biggest bottle is a multi-way tie between Solter Rheingau Sekt and 2005 Château Mylord Cue Milady.

3L - if not too dear I open at big backyard parties. For a 98 Pomerol I opened as one of the wines at my 50th, several dozen people. Expect to do same with 01 Montelenas, for a big anniversary party. A bit unsure re the Auslese, though.
