Really? That was a stab in the dark!

Hmmm right.
A standard bottle of wine is 0.75 litres, A Demi is 0.375 litres and a Magnum, of course, is 1.5 litres. But how many litres are there in a Soverign?

Or is that a Nebuchanadezzer (can't be asked looking up the spelling).

Don't think anyone is going to get this.
It is the largest champagne bottle and holds 25 or 26 litres.
