Chelle is right:

1. (Brewing) a wine bottle holding the equivalent of six normal bottles (approximately 156 ounces)

[C19: named after Rehoboam, a son of King Solomon, from Hebrew, literally: the nation is enlarged

So Imperial is correct?

Pay money - make choice:
Jeroboam
There are two sizes of Jeroboams: the sparkling wine Jeroboam holds 4 bottles, or 3.0 litres: the still wine Jeroboam holds 6 regular bottles, or 4.5 litres.

Rehoboam
Champagne only - 4.5 litres or 6 bottles.
