Punts for Champagne and sparkling wines are deeper because they strengthen the glass that needs to withstand high pressure. A deep punt also makes it easier for a bottle to be lifted by suction during sparkling winemaking. With a deep punt, you can also support the bottle more easily with your thumb when pouring.While there are thousands of grape varieties and dozens of wine glass styles to suit different types of wine, there are only a few standard wine bottle shapes and sizes. On American Sign Language and wine, WSET interviews Peter Cook and Laura Brown Unterstein - 17 May 2022 Q&A with Lendl Mijnhijmer, WSET Level 4 Diploma graduate and winner of the WSET McNie Tasting Trophy 2015 - 8 June 2016 I asked Jenni Richards, Federation Manager at British Glass, why glass is such an important material. ‘Glass respects its contents,’ says Richards. ‘It doesn’t add or take away anything from the taste or the quality. Glass is made from natural materials which makes it virtually inert.’ The shape somewhat resembles a bowling pin, an hourglass or even a corset. As the name suggests, this bottle comes from Côtes de Provence, the famous rosé-producing region. With the current trend for rosé wines, you’re very likely to spot this shape of bottle when shopping for wine.

When it comes to melting glass, it is not all about the temperature; the luminosity of the flame is also very important. ‘It is how the energy is transferred,’ says Richards. ‘At the moment glass is manufactured in gas-fired furnaces. The glass is in the bottom like a bath, and the flame comes over the top. The heat is transferred into that liquid bath of glass by infra-red radiation. It is in there for a while for everything to mix properly. If you look at other fuels such as hydrogen, then you are interested in how the flame transfers that energy into the glass as well as the heat. With electricity, electrodes are put in the bottom: electric melting is a possibility, but there are issues scaling up. Partial electric melting in combination with other fuels is growing. Apart from the technology, the other main barrier is the cost. It wouldn’t make any sense right now, but when the grid decarbonises (it will be carbon negative by the early 2030s) it might.’ On wine, spice, and entrepreneurship, WSET interviews wine importer Mulongo Binti Simiyu - 2 November 2021Wouldn't use any other company now, great price, great service, would recommend this company to all :) In short, different bottle sizes don’t mean better wine quality, although smaller bottles are believed to hasten the ageing process.

A punt adds to the cost of a bottle. It is cheaper to produce a bottle without the punt, as it requires less glass. However, a punt is no indicator of the quality of the wine, but rather the winemaker's visual preference. Since then it has grown, and Jamie is now a full-time wine writer, lecturer, wine judge and book author. Is there an excess inventory of green glass in the UK? ‘Yes, we import a lot of green glass and we manufacture more flint (clear) glass,’ says Richards. ‘We make a fair amount of green glass, but there is an imbalance. The excess green glass that is collected in the UK is exported to glass manufacturers elsewhere, who have the reverse imbalance.’ Knowing the basic shapes can be a useful clue to identifying the style of wine before even reading the label. Alsace bottleThe carbon footprint of recycling is an issue. ‘There has been a 50% cut in the energy requirement over the last 40 years,’ explains Richards. ‘But it is an ongoing journey. The glass sector signed up to the UK Government’s 2012 roadmap for carbon reduction, and participated in an action plan. We are now drawing up a net zero plan for the UK glass sector. We are involved with an organization called Glass Futures, looking at decarbonization options. There are some issues in switching fuels, but we can do it.’ Our range of glass bottles has grown considerably in recent times and we will continue to extend the range this year. Our swing stopper bottles are very popular, ranging in size from 70ml up to 1 litre and many come with a choice of ceramic swing stopper or resin. The ceramic stoppers are slightly more expensive but do lend that note of vintage to the bottles which is so popular at the moment. Any bottle we feel is that little bit special goes in our Designer Bottle section and in this section don't miss our 750 ml triple bottle. This really makes a very special gift with three bottles fitting together to make one bottle. Glass bottles are so ubiquitous that we tend to just take glass, with its remarkable wine preserving properties, for granted. But without it, we wouldn’t have wine as we know it today. But one of the main appeals of glass, aside from its unique properties, is its environmental credentials. ‘The great thing about glass is that it is 100% recyclable, an infinite number of times, without loss of quality,’ says Richards. ‘We have been recycling glass in the UK for 40 years. The original recycling banks were put in by the glass sector because we wanted this waste glass so much. So for bottles made in the UK, some of the glass they are produced from has been going round and round the system for 40 years.’ The first bottle banks appeared in 1977.
