| If you're talking about the title "Wine Stranger" - you can change it by simply posting more! | | | |

I notice that our titles don't match the FAQ anymore. And, in fact, the break points seem to be different.

| Ah crap. You are so right. It seems the upgrade didn't keep the settings I had, and I don't remember what they all were. Perhaps now is the time for new ones.... Anyone want to take a stab at it? Give me the post count, and what the title should change to.  | | | If you drink wine, you get smarter.... | |

| skwid gave us a nice pointer to a site that sells giant bottle cradles. I noticed that one of their pages includes bottle sizes. Their list is:
Magnum 2 - 750 bottle equivalents
Marie jeanne 3
Double Magnum 4
Jeroboam 4 or 6
Rehoboam 6
Imperial 8
Methuselah 8
Shalmaneser 12
Balthazar 16
Nebuchadnezzar 20
Melchior 24
I've seen slightly different lists (and different spellings), but maybe something like this?

| The names of the bottle size depend upon which part of France you are in. For instance 3L is a Jeroboam in Burgundy/Champagne and a Double Magnum in Bordeaux. A Jeroboam is 4.5L in Bordeaux. I've never actually been a Marie Jeanne. The list you saw didn't include a 5L bottle name and I haven't seen a name for that size. Winebid also has a listing of bottle size names. It looks similar to the one you posted. | | | |

| revlis,
the title change seems only to have effected the new members. for instance, thebugguy is still a "Wine Stranger" while montreal is simply a "stranger". | | | |

| gfleener, I registered in November and should have the same title as you do - but don't. Never underestimate the ability of software to screw things up  | | | |
