World’s largest wine bottle!
The 15ft high bottle contains an astonishing 1,850 litres of wine, produced by Wang Chen Wines in Liaoning, northern China. That’s over three times the amount held by the previous record-holders, Austrian winemakers Kracher, whose bottle held 490 litres of Grande Cuvee TBA NV No.7 2005.
‘We are very proud, and the wine is very good. We have all had a glass from the bottle to celebrate,’ said a company spokesman.
