For normal usage half-bottles are perfect for sweet white Bordeaux wines, such as the prestigious Château d’Yquem, when a bottle is just too much; providing a couple of glasses for two or a generous taste for four persons.
To celebrate the fabulous 2005 vintage the producer will be bottling 100 15-liter Nebuchadnezzars for use at large events or for occasions when many friends have gathered. The estimated price is about $20,000 per bottle!
