I suggested the 2 liter bottles above in post number 18.

If you are carrying that much water, it is because you anticipate NEEDING that much water. While the 5 liter bladders may hold a lot and have a convenient spigot, they are quite fragile. I gave several to a friend a couple years ago that needed to haul a week worth of water on a kayak trip on the ocean. I told her to store them in a drybag when not packed in the boat in case one leaked. Then at least she would have a dry bag full of water. She gladly accepted the empty bladders but eventually she decided to use something else to carry her water due to the risk of a bladder failure.
On the other hand, if your goal is to collect several empty wine bladders and if you have the time to collect them, I suggest Merlot.
