Wine Bottle And Glasses

Wine Bottle And Glasses

A wine bottle is used to contain wine, and is usually made of glass. A customary wine bottle holds about 0.75 litre of liquid. More traditional glass wine bottles are preserved with corks, but screw-top caps are becoming increasingly popular as well. In countries like Portugal, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, determining the silhouette of wine bottles is heavily influenced by local customs. Champagne and sparkling wine bottles tend to be more thick-walled and expansive with a prominent punt and shoulders which slope, whereas Burgundy and Rhone bottles tend to be taller with smaller punts and sloping shoulders. One unique glass wine bottle would be for Chianti, as it has a flask which is round bottomed.
