What looks like a covered blue straw laundry basket with a ginormous wine bottle inside.
This is what’s known as a “demijohn,” or damigiana in Italian.
Home fermenters might also know it as a “carboy”—it’s a big, water-cooler-shaped bottle that can hold anywhere from 5 to 15 gallons.
These large bottles with narrow, usually short necks are traditionally used either as fermentation containers or as a way to transport liquid. It’s not unusual to see them enclosed in wicker, which both offers the bottle some protection and gives it some useful handles.
This fantastic piece has been in my family for all these years.
Beautiful conversation and statement piece.
