Designation of a bottle oversize with the volume of 7.5 litres or the content of 10 normal bottles. It is not known whether the naming is related to the self-indulgent young man from Greek mythology. The rare bottle size was first introduced in 2013 in Vienna (Austria) created on the occasion of a birthday party. The jubilarian was the German entrepreneur Professor Dr. Dieter Hundt, who was honoured with this on his 75th birthday. The bottle was filled with a "Pannobile Jg. 2013" (Cuvée from Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch) of the winery Helmuth Renner from Gols. See also a list of all bottle designations under Bottles and generally under Wine Vessels.
