Fluff...nothing but fluff

  I don't want to talk about healthcare reform (it hits too close to home). I don't want to talk about Michael Vick (he's back). I don't even want to talk about Obama (he's not the boogyman). Hubby found a book on measurements at the dollar store and it's pretty interesting. In the book I found a bit of information about bottle sizes for champagne that's really cool. So the question is how many bottles sizes are there for champagne and what are the names. I'm sure this will be easy to find on google.

  Enjoy

  Josie you're cute as a darn button. And your kids are just beautiful.

  I can not remember even one measure for Champagne. Boot? Dram? No, I guess I'll have to look it up.

  OK, I start :

  one bottle contains 0.75 liter

  one Magnum equals 2 bottles, ie 1.5 liter

  one Jeroboam equals 4 bottles that is 3 liters

  after that you're drunk, you can't count anymore

  Isn't there a bottle called a "split"? I seem to remember Cher using this term in the movie Moonstruck.
