    		Should not the question be something like this: Which of the three Magi did not give his name to a type of wine-bottle?

    		Every one except Melchor and Balthazar, according to Jane's reference.

    		So Jeroboam, Rehoboam, Methuselah, Mordechai, Salmanazar, Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, Melchizedek all are tyoes of wine-bottles named after other Biblical characters than the three Magi. Remarkable how religious those champagne-people seem to be. In vino veritas?
