Yes, you read that correctly – we’re offering a huge zero per cent discount on the price of 1500ml Champagne magnums (as compared to two 750ml bottles of the same wine).

In contrast to bleach and duty-free whiskey, Champagne doesn't get less expensive per millilitre when you purchase it in bigger bottles. Instead, you will often pay a 10-15% premium (related to the non-standard packaging, shipping and storage required) to pour Champagne from the bigger bottle.

That's why we are excited that we can currently offer Champagne Frerejean Frères Premier Cru Brut NV in 1500ml magnums for £61.60 – exactly twice the price of two 750ml bottles at £30.80.

Watch James – who, yes, did dress as 1980s TV idol and moustache muse Magnum PI for this video – explain why:

• We think Frerejean Frères' Premier Cru Brut NV is an absolute belter


• The magnum is actually the optimal bottle size for drinking champagne


• A 1500ml magnum at £61.60 - exactly twice the price of two 750ml bottles at £30.80 – is actually great value, representing a 10-15% saving on conventional magnum pricing
