The design of wine bottles can have many types in terms of shape, color and decoration, but it can generally be summarized as the following three main designs:
Bordeaux Bottle: One of the most common designs for red wine bottles, the Bordeaux bottle is characterized by a long neck, a relatively straight bottle and a wide bottom. This design is suitable for loading rich red wine, as its shape facilitates the contact of red wine with oxygen, which helps in the aging and breathing process of red wine.
Burgundy bottles have a shorter neck, fuller body and narrower bottom than Bordeaux bottles. This design is often used to load richer, more fruity red wines, such as Burgundy. Its shape helps retain the fruit and aroma in red wine and reduces the exposure to oxygen.
Slope Shoulder Bottle: The design feature of the sloping shoulder bottle is that the shoulder is angled and the bottle body is smooth. This design is often used to load young, fresh-tasting red wines, such as some light varieties. The elegant appearance of the oblique shoulder bottle is suitable for showing the clear color and transparency of the red wine.
In recent years, the Burgundy wine bottle has attracted much attention in the international market, and many well-known brands of red wine choose to use this bottle to load their products. Its exquisite design and high-quality manufacturing process make Burgundy wine bottles not only have practical value, but also have artistic value. Some high-end wine brands also invite well-known artists or designers to design the bottle and label, making it a kind of art.
In contrast, Burgundy bottles have a relatively fuller body and shorter neck than Bordeaux bottles. This design not only helps to maintain the freshness and quality of the wine, but also reduces the contact with oxygen and extends the shelf life of the wine, and its unique design and functional considerations reflect the attention paid to the quality and preservation of the wine.
