Gift Idea: Buy Someone A Magnum

Tyler Colman, Ph.D., also known as Dr. Vino, suggests giving magnums this year because those huge bottles have a smaller carbon footprint due to the more favorable wine-to-glass ratio.

“They’re actually more environmentally friendly since they have a small carbon footprint per ounce of wine. And then there’s the bling factor,” Dr. Colman tells us.

Hey we’re all for bling. Dr. Colman has chosen five magnums that are all under $100 and would make great gifts for the treehugger or rap mogul on your list.
