Wine bottle development

Hundreds of years ago, the wines that people bought were marked by the production areas of the old world (such as: Alsace, Chianti or Bordeaux). Different bottles are the most noticeable marks in the producing areas. The word Bordeaux is even direct. Equivalent to Bordeaux-style wine bottles. The wines that emerged in the New World region were bottled according to the origin of the grape varieties. For example, Pinot Noir, produced in California, uses a bottle of Burgundy, the origin of Pinot Noir. At the earliest days of wine making, in the era of so-called Egyptian BC culture, wine was stored in an elongated clay pot called amphorae. Dressed in loose robes and surrounded by angels holding a can of wine, it was the image of the gods of that era. Although these containers are well-shaped, they are surprisingly heavy and the clay material affects the taste of the wine. In about 100 AD, the Romans discovered that glass bottles could solve these problems, but due to the high cost and backward technology, it was not until 1600 that glass bottles became the preferred method of storing wine. At that time, the glass molds had not been put into practical use, so early bottles were rather thick and varied in shape, and they looked more like today's art sculptures.
