It's not the size of the bottle that counts; it's the shape of the bottle.
by Jill Stacey
The shape of wine bottles can communicate a great deal about the taste of the wine inside.
In Europe, many wine producing areas developed unique wine bottle shapes that became the traditional bottle for wines of that region. As winemaking spread around the world, new wineries often adopted those traditional European bottle shapes in order to communicate with their consumers.
