When it comes to wine or spirits, the name for a narrow necked container of more than two gallon capacity is known as a "demijohn." These large glass or plastic containers are commonly used for fermenting, storing, and transporting wine, spirits, and other liquids in bulk quantities.

Demijohns are typically cylindrical in shape with a narrow neck and a wide body, making them ideal for storing large quantities of liquid. They are often sealed with a cork or a stopper to keep the contents fresh and prevent any leakage.

These containers are commonly used by winemakers, distillers, and homebrewers to store and age their products before bottling. They are also popular among collectors and decorators for their vintage aesthetic and unique shape.

If you are looking to purchase a demijohn for your own wine or spirits collection, there are many online retailers that offer a wide variety of sizes and styles to choose from. You can also find demijohns at specialty stores that cater to homebrewing and winemaking enthusiasts.

For more information on demijohns and their uses, you can visit websites such as MoreWineMaking or Northern Brewer for a comprehensive selection of demijohns and other winemaking supplies.

Whether you are a seasoned winemaker or just starting out, a demijohn is a versatile and practical container for storing and aging your favorite wines and spirits. With their large capacity and narrow neck design, demijohns are the perfect vessel for keeping your liquids fresh and ready for enjoyment.
