there is no true name for a 5 liter bottle except maybe big. Here are some names for different size bottles:
* Two times a 750ml = Magnum
* Four times= Jeroboam
* Six times= Rehoboam
* Eight times= Methusaleh
* Twelve times= Salmanazar
* Sixteen times= Balthazar
* Twenty times= Nebuchadnezzar
5 liters would be close to a Rehoboam which is 4.5 liters. These names sound like they are made up by someone who had the Old Testament nearby but they are recognized bottle sizes.
