Damigiana

In Italy, a large balloon bottle (demijohn) made of mostly glass with a volume of 28 or 54 litres, wrapped in raffia, into which "vino sciolto"(open wine) is bottled and sold "over the street". The vessel is also used for olive oil. The French equivalent is called Dame-Jeanne (see there for the meaning of the name), the Argentinian equivalent is called Damajuana. See also complete lists under the keywords bottles and wine vessels.

Voices of our members

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
