When it comes to transporting wine, especially large format bottles, wine lovers and professionals alike face a daunting challenge: finding a bag or tote that can safely and conveniently carry these oversized bottles. Recognizing this need, VINARMOUR created the Double Magnum Wine Tote, a product unlike any other on the market specifically designed to handle two 3-liter double Magnum sized bottles. Also known as Jeroboams in some contexts, these large format bottles require a tote that possesses heavy-duty construction, and VINARMOUR’s solution sets a new standard in safety, convenience, and style.
Understanding the Need for a Double Magnum Wine Tote
Large format bottles like the 3-liter double Magnum, or Jeroboam, are prized not only for their impressive presence but also for their enhanced aging potential and suitability for special occasions. A Jeroboam holds the equivalent of four standard 750 ml bottles, and a magnum holds 1.5L (or two 750ml bottles), making them good choices for celebrations, tastings, or professional events. However, because of their size and weight, carrying two such bottles simultaneously can be challenging without the right equipment.
VINARMOUR’s double Magnum wine tote is unmatched because no other product is purpose-built to securely carry up to two 3-liter bottles in one carrying case. Most conventional wine totes accommodate up to a Magnum size (1.5 liters), but when it comes to double Magnums or Jeroboams, these options fall short. VINARMOUR recognized this gap and engineered a tote that is modest in size, yet spacious enough, structurally reinforced, and designed with protective internal stitching to withstand the stress that carrying heavier weights may induce.
Defining the Double Magnum and Jeroboam
To fully appreciate VINARMOUR’s innovation, it is helpful to understand the bottle sizes involved. The 3-liter double Magnum/Jeroboam bottle stands roughly 18 inches tall with an approximate diameter of just over 5 inches. This size holds the equivalent of four standard bottles, doubling the volume of a Magnum bottle. The term Jeroboam is sometimes used interchangeably with double Magnum, particularly varying by region and type of wine (still vs sparkling). In any case, this size is popular for wine collectors, wineries, and those who want to make an occasion memorable with a statement bottle.
Occasions for Transporting Large-format Wine Bottles
The ability to carry two magnum or double Magnum/Jeroboam bottles opens up opportunities across many occasions and professional settings:
• Winery Sales and Events: A winery’s salesforce and event coordinators often need to transport multiple large format bottles for tastings, sales presentations, hospitality suites, and special releases. Having a tote tailored for two 3L bottles means easier coordination and presentation, enhancing the company’s professionalism and care for their product. VINARMOUR can even laser-brand company names and logos on the leather handles for an added element of high-class professionalism.• Wine Enthusiasts and Collectors: Enthusiasts who invest in large format bottles appreciate the convenience of carrying two such bottles safely to dinners, tastings, or events. Transporting two Jeroboams without a dedicated tote can result in frustration and damage risk, so VINARMOUR’s tote is both a practical and stylish companion for collectors.
• Restaurants and Catering: High-end restaurants, catering businesses, and event planners may need to bring multiple large format wines for celebrations, weddings, or corporate gatherings where such bottles add a touch of luxury and sophistication.
• Gifts and Special Occasions: Magnums are frequently given as gifts for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or other celebrations. The ability to transport two bottles securely is essential when traveling to delivers these impressive tokens.
• Travel and Transport: Wine aficionados traveling to wine regions or events need a reliable solution to transport big bottles without inconvenience or damage. Whether by car, plane, or boat, VINARMOUR’s double Magnum tote provides peace of mind. The tote’s proprietary leather bottle-guard can also be used for regular magnums to help prevent bottle rattling during carry, whereas with Jeroboams the bottles will fit snugly together within the tote, eliminating the space between bottles and thus obviating the need for the bottle guard.
Caring for Double Magnum Bottles Together: Important Considerations
While VINARMOUR’s double Magnum wine tote is designed to carry two large bottles, it is important to recognize that not all pairings of 3-liter bottles will fit perfectly due to variances in bottle diameter. Some wineries produce double Magnums or Jeroboams with slightly wider necks or bodies, which can impact fit in a tight tote space. These are quite common with Champagne, Rhone, and Burgundian Jeroboams.
Therefore, when transporting two 3L bottles together, careful consideration should be given to their dimensions, especially if one bottle is a sparkling wine Jeroboam and the other a still wine double Magnum, as the diameters and shapes may differ.
The Design Excellence Behind VINARMOUR’s Double Magnum Tote
VINARMOUR’s tote is crafted from premium quality materials that combine durability with elegant aesthetics. When Founder and CEO Brian Hart began prototyping the tote, he did not rely on designers in the garment or bag industry–he hired Technical Softgoods president Andy Storms. Andy has decades of experience in designing outdoor luggage and packs that undergo tremendous amounts of stress and abuse, and he assisted VINARMOUR in creating a tote that is (and we are proud to say) over-engineered. Reinforced stitching, collapsible leather bottle-guard, and sturdy, ergonomic handles allow for comfortable and secure carrying of heavy loads without strain or fear of damage. Side grommets allow for the attachment of the VINARMOUR SHOULDER HARNESS, allowing for easier carrying of heavy loads. Additionally, the time-tested water-resistant nature of Halley Stevensons Scottish waxed canvas helps to protect the precious contents from environmental elements.
Why VINARMOUR Stands Apart in the Wine Tote Market
VINARMOUR’s innovation does not stop at merely expanding tote size. The engineering, design, and attention to detail focus explicitly on the challenges that large format bottle transport presents. The wine tote market is crowded with products for individual bottles and standard sizes, but for professionals and enthusiasts moving multiple single or double Magnums, options are scarce.
By filling this niche, VINARMOUR delivers:
• Specialized Capacity: Specifically engineered for one, two, or three standard 750ml bottles, two 1.5L magnum bottles, or two 3L bottles, no other tote offers equivalent protection and convenience for such bottle combinations.
• Versatility: The tote may be used for many household tasks, from taking a laptop and offices supplies to a board meeting, or carrying home a couple of apple cider jugs from the local Farmer’s market.
• Robust Durability: Leather and waxed canvas are two of nature’s most rugged and durable materials.
• Stylish Presentation: A sleek, professional look that complements the prestige of carrying large format wines.
