Abstract
Jeroboam, Methuselah and Nebuchadnezzar, along with Rehoboam and Melchizedek, among others, are the names of super-sized bottles of champagne. In a widely reported story from mid-summer 2007, an anonymous client, believed to be a Middle Eastern businessman, spent approximately $240,000 on two Jeroboams one Saturday night at the newly-opened Crystal nightclub in Marylebone London. Here, Greenspoon argues why each of these large bottle sizes became associated with a particular Biblical personage.
