BOTTLE SHAPESWine producers in Portugal, Italy, Spain, France and Germany follow thetradition of their local areas in choosing the shape of bottle most appropriatefor their wine.
Port, sherry, and Bordeaux varieties: straight-sided and high-shouldered witha pronounced punt. Port and sherrybottles may have a bulbous neck to
collect any residue.Burgundies and Rhne varieties: tall bottles with sloping shoulders and asmaller punt.
Rhine (also known as hockor hoch), Mosel, and Alsace varieties: narrowand tall with little or no punt.
Champagne and other sparkling wines: thick-walled and wide with apronounced punt and sloping shoulders.
German wines from Franconia: the Bocksbeutel bottle.
The Chianti and some other Italian wines: the fiasco, a round-bottomedflask encased in a straw basket. This is more often used for everyday tablewines; many of the higher-grade Chianti producers have switched to
Bordeaux-type bottles.

THE PUNTA punt, also known as a kick-up, refers to the dimple at the bottom of a wine bottle. There is no
consensus explanation for its purpose. The more commonly cited explanations include:
It is a historical remnant from the era when wine bottles were free blown using a blowpipe and
pontil. This technique leaves a punt mark on the base of the bottle; by indenting the point where
the pontil is attached, this scar would not scratch the table or make the bottle unstable.
It consolidates sediment deposits in a thick ring at the bottom of the bottle, preventing much/most of it from being poured into the glass.
It increases the strength of the bottle, allowing it to hold the high pressure of sparkling wine/
champagne.
It accommodates the pourer's thumb for stability and ease of pouring.
It provides a grip for riddling a bottle of sparkling wine manually in the traditional champagne
production process.
It consumes some volume of the bottle, allowing the bottle to be larger for the same amount of
wine, which may impress the purchaser.
Prevents the bottle from resonating as easily, decreasing the likelihood of shattering during
transportation.
Allows bottles to be more easily stacked end to end.
Bottles could be stacked in cargo holds on ships without rolling around and breaking
