jeroboam
A Jeroboam is a large bottle of wine or champagne, typically holding about three liters, which equals to four regular-sized (750ml) bottles. It originated from the biblical figure, Jeroboam, who was the first King of Northern Israel. In biblical terms, he is known for causing Israel to sin. Therefore, because of its large size, a 'jeroboam' suggests that one needs to drink responsibly to avoid causing any harm or sin. The term is also used in a modern context to indicate a large bottle of liquor.
