Magnum vs Jeroboam: Choosing the Right Large-Format Wine

BIG BOTTLES, BIG REWARDS A magnum (1.5 L) equals two standard bottles, while a jeroboam (3 L) equals four. That extra glass is only the beginning. The larger volume changes how wine ages. More wine meets less oxygen, so fruit stays brighter and tannins soften slowly. Collectors notice deeper color retention and finer mousse in sparkling styles poured from magnums. WHEN TO POUR WHICH • Dinner for 6-8 guests: magnum lets everyone taste without opening twins. • Holiday table or backyard bash for 12-16: jeroboam steals the show and keeps pours consistent. CELLAR CONSIDERATIONS Thicker glass shields wine from temperature swings. Lay big bottles on their side just like 750s, but give them a wider cradle. If moving them, use two hands around the punt; the weight surprises first-timers. SERVING TIPS Chill a magnum 15 min longer than a normal bottle. For jeroboams, add an extra half hour or a wet-ice sleeve after opening. A broad decanter helps young reds stretch their legs. Large-format bottles deliver both spectacle and science. Whether you toast a promotion or build a patient cellar, choosing the right size turns ordinary wine into an event.

Hi! I'm in Volleyball conditioning rn and I'm having trouble Serving over the net, setting and a huge problem with footwork. I really want to make the team, any tips?

For serving, please refer here

Something I’d like to stress from the serving portion (two things actually) are keeping your wrist locked and practicing closer to the net than the serving line is. 

The Rec Center near me has open gyms where they set up the nets and just let anyone go (if there’s something like that near you, it’s a great place to practice serving), but there were some girls serving and the number one thing I noticed is their wrists weren’t locked. Their wrist either bent back when they contacted the ball or flopped awkwardly to the side. Whatever the exact situation, it usually started with their wrist. 

I recommend starting at the ten foot line to practice overhand serve. It’s important because it ensures you use the proper technique. Often, people will just try anything they can to get the ball over the net if they start at the serving line, and it results in horrible technique that hurts them later. Start at the ten foot line and do it right. Don’t be tentative just because you’re close to the net, but you don’t have to hit it as hard as you can either. You really just want to focus on your toss and the contact. Drive the ball straight forward (over the net though). Once you successfully do that like 10 times, take five steps back, and try it from there. It’s a gradual process but I think it’s the most effective. 

Setting stuff look here

I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say footwork. Every skill in volleyball requires footwork, whether it’s hitting, serving, setting, passing, etc. Feel free to send another message clarifying and let me know if you have any additional questions!

I have just finished my 8th grade year and I still cannot OVERHAND SERVE. I refuse to go in freshman year an UNDERHAND SERVER. HELP ME!!!

Also see here

A lot of the time when someone gets frustrated because they can’t make an overhand serve, they’ll just stop trying and serve underhand. The problem with this is then you aren’t getting practice or repetition. The more you do something, the more comfortable you become with it, and the better you’ll get at it. Just keep that in mind. 

Your toss is really important. It’s hard for me to explain how high or how low to toss just through words on the internet, but you want it to be a little above your head. Make sure you’re also tossing in front of your right shoulder instead of just straight up. You don’t want to have to lean to the side in order to hit the ball. 

It’s really important that you keep your wrist locked. It’s a lot like giving a high five, it’s gonna be a pretty lame high five if your wrist is floppy. It’s the same with serving. Keep your hand open and wrist locked. Someone should be able to push on your hand and it shouldn’t move. You want to contact the ball up high, don’t wait for it to come down. 

A really good way to practice this is to get a ball and find a wall. Stand about an arms length away from the wall and just toss the ball up and contact it like you would serve. But what you’re going to do is trap the ball in between your hand and the wall. You want to make sure it’s up high and that your wrist doesn’t move. Just do this over and over. If you don’t understand what I just explained, let me know and I’ll make a video. 

The movement will be awkward at first and in all honesty it probably won’t go over the net at first. This just means you have to get used to the motion. Do not use incorrect form just because you’re getting frustrated.

Main things: high toss, high contact, locked wrist. 

If you need any more help, send me another message and I’ll try some other things.
