The mysteries of the hollow at the bottom of wine bottles

3. Faster cooling

The concave design promotes optimal contact with the ice. Unlike a flat bottom, the curvature allows for more efficient heat dissipation, thus speeding up the wine’s cooling process. Ideal for enjoying a fresh bottle at any time!

4. Simplified service

Another often overlooked advantage is that the concave bottom makes it easier to serve the wine. By pressing your thumb on this part, you benefit from a better grip to pour the wine elegantly, while limiting the contact of the palm with the bottle to avoid heating it.

A significant and symbolic detail

The concave bottom of wine bottles is not just an aesthetic choice. It embodies a clever blend of tradition, know-how and practicality, which has accompanied the tasting of this precious beverage for generations. The next time you hold a bottle in your hands, keep in mind these little secrets hidden in the hollow of the bottle. Cheers!
