This one always stumps me without a calculator. A standard Burgundian barrel can hold 228 Liters of wine (60.24 gallons), and a bottle holds 0.750 Liters of wine at 20 degrees Celsius, so 228 Liters divided by 0.750 Liters is 304 bottles (25 1/3 cases). A Bordelaise barrel, on the other hand, holds 225 liters of wine (59.45 gallons), so 225 Liters divided by 0.750 Liters is 300 bottles (25 cases).
