750ml empty glass Bordeaux bottle
Product Introduction
The Bordeaux wine bottle is a classic wine bottle shape, renowned for its unique design and wide applicability.
Design: The bottle is upright and tall with prominent right-angled shoulders, a deep groove at the base, and a narrow neck. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical. The right-angled shoulders help trap sediment that forms during the aging process, while the deep groove enhances the bottle's stability and reduces light damage to the wine.
Dimensions: The standard Bordeaux wine bottle has a body diameter of 73.6mm ± 1.4mm, an outer diameter of 29.5mm ± 0.5mm at the mouth, an inner diameter of 18.5mm ± 0.5mm at the mouth, a height of 322mm ± 1.9mm, a belly height of approximately 184mm, a bottom thickness of 16mm, and a liquid level of 750ml at the mouth of the bottle of 70mm.
Color characteristics: There are usually two colors: dark green and emerald green. Dark green is mostly used for red wine, while light green is mainly used for white wine. We offer a wide variety of shades including dark green, antique green, and flint.
About Us
Suitable Wines
Core Bordeaux Wines:
Red Wines: Bordeaux blends dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (including those primarily Cabernet Sauvignon from the left bank and Merlot from the right bank), single or blended wines with supporting varieties such as Malbec and Carmenere. High tannins, full-bodied, requiring aging to develop complex flavors; high shoulders help prevent sedimentation; dark green bottles protect the wine from light.
White Wines: Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blends (light green bottles), Sauternes (normally clear bottles), suitable for their fresh or sweet styles.
New World Bordeaux-style Wines: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot single/blended wines from the USA, Australia, Chile, South Africa, etc., as well as Bordeaux-style blends such as Meritage. Widely chosen due to their universal bottle shape and ease of storage and transportation.
Other suitable wines include: Italian Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino; some Malbec and Zinfandel single-varietal wines; and non-Bordeaux red/white wines that are strict in style and require aging. Bordeaux bottles are also commonly used to standardize the wines and improve their stability.
