World’s largest bottle of Wine vs. World’s largest Keg

The world’s largest bottle of wine arrived in New York two thursdays ago. At 6-foot-5 and 1,300 pounds, this behemoth bottle of wine is not for the faint of heart. Australian Kim Bullock is expecting a hefty price tag; she already turned down a $100,000 offer.

But that’s nothing compared to the world’s largest keg. At 27 feet long and 25 feet tall, this mammoth keg puts the 6-foot-5 bottle of wine to shame. As you could image, the keg holds a good amount of beer, 55,345 gallons to be exact. This keg is the pride of Germany, and makes its home in the Heidelberg Castle.
