It may seem like a funny or pointless question, but there's a real answer! So, here's a wine fun-fact.

The “butt” is a measure of liquid volume equaling two hogsheads. That may not be of much help. So, in terms that we all understand, a butt of wine is approximately 126 gallons. That's compared to a standard wine barrel that contains about 60 gallons. So, technically, a buttload of wine is roughly two standard barrels.

And, just so you know, a butt of wine is also called a pipe. Who knew? Cheers!
