Originally sold as "The Largest Wine Bottle in the World" in 1998, this very rare and unique bottle was created in collaboration between the house of Fonseca and an American doctor in the 1980s. The idea was to create a unique bottle to offer in a charity auction to raise awareness of a rare disease that was ravaging the local fishing communities in Portugal.
