The Rehoboam is the name given to a wine bottle size. So what is the capacity of the Rehoboam? How many glasses does it represent? Before diving into these details, it’s worth noting that this bottle size is mostly found in Champagne. You can, however, find it elsewhere for wine bottles.

Capacity of the Rehoboam
The Rehoboam has a capacity of 4.5 litres, that is 450 centilitres. It’s the equivalent of 6 standard-size bottles (0.75 litres). You could also say that this bottle holds the equivalent of 3 magnums. It is therefore the size directly above the Jeroboam. With such a bottle, you can serve between 36 and 38 glasses. On the other hand, the dimensions of this bottle are particularly impressive. Indeed, it stands 56 centimetres tall and 15 centimetres wide. Suffice to say it should impress your guests and take pride of place on your table.
Where does the name Rehoboam come from?
For all wine and champagne lovers, a question arises: why call a bottle Rehoboam? In reality, this name comes from the Bible. Indeed, according to this text, Rehoboam is the king of Judah (a kingdom in the Near East, south of the kingdom of Israel). Rehoboam is also the son of King Solomon. It is in reference to this biblical figure that a bottle bears his name today.
