Last modified on Tue 3 Aug 2021 21.47 EDT Across Australia, so many of us are staying at home right now. Although we might long for the day when we can gather around a table and open a great bottle of wine, for those in cities that are locked down, it could be a while. In the meantime, you might try an alternative approach to enjoying wine at home: drinking a magnum over the course of several days, as you would with boxed wine. A magnum is twice the size of a regular bottle, at 1.5 litres it contains around 16 glasses of wine. If it’s a quality wine from a reputable producer, once you’ve opened a magnum and poured yourself a glass or two, you can simply pop the cork back in – or, even better, stock up on a few cheap, versatile wine stoppers (we use these at home). Once you’ve closed the bottle properly, just place the wine in your fridge door for another night.
