What Is a Methuselah of Champagne?
A Champagne Methuselah is a six-litre bottle. It contains the same volume as eight standard 75cl bottles, four Magnums or two Jeroboams. Using an approximate 125ml serving, one Methuselah provides about 48 glasses of Champagne.
The 6L format creates a substantial centrepiece for a celebration while remaining smaller than the nine-to-15-litre bottles in our large Champagne bottle collection.

Methuselah, Nebuchadnezzar and Melchizedek Compared
A Methuselah contains six litres or eight standard bottles. A Nebuchadnezzar of Champagne contains 15 litres or 20 standard bottles. A Melchizedek is considerably larger at 30 litres, equal to 40 standard bottles, and is an exceptionally rare ceremonial format rather than the product sold on this page.
For a smaller large-format bottle, a Champagne Jeroboam contains three litres or four standard bottles.
Methuselah Champagne Prices and Presentation
The live product card above shows the current price of the Lanson Methuselah, including VAT and free standard UK delivery. Large-format Champagne prices can change with supply, producer pricing and availability, so avoid relying on an older quoted price. The branded wooden gift box is included with the current product.
When Is a Methuselah a Good Choice?
A six-litre bottle is suited to weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas parties, corporate celebrations and major congratulations. Its approximate 48-glass capacity makes it suitable for a group, while the single large bottle provides a more memorable centrepiece than eight separate bottles.
Methuselah Champagne Delivery Across the UK
Free standard UK delivery is included, and the bottle can be delivered to a recipient or event venue. The current Lanson Methuselah requires at least two days for delivery, so it should not be treated as a next-working-day product. Choose an available date during checkout and allow additional time around weekends and peak periods. See our Champagne delivery information for current service details.
