What is a Demijohn bottle?
A demijohn bottle is a rigid container that holds 4 to 60 liters of liquid (1 to 16 US gal). Demijohn bottles are used to ferment beverages, most commonly beer or wine, or to transport water or chemicals. The term demijohn is said to have French origins and refers to any large, narrow-necked bottle used to hold liquid. Shop a range of antique and vintage demijohn bottles on 1stDibs.
