About the Item

Large Demi-John Jar: Measures: 18" X 18" X 26" H Weighs Approximately: 10 LBS This example was purchased in France and had been used for the storage and fermentation of wine in the Burgundy region. A demijohn (pronounced de-mee-john) is a narrow-neck or teardrop shaped large bottle that is used to store liquids such as wine, olive oil, cider, etc. The word demijohn is thought to come from the French word deme-jeanne. These beautiful bottles were seen as early as the 14th century, but the word is thought to be from the 17th century.
