The design of the punt is often overlooked in the wine industry, but in fact it plays a crucial role in a wine's aging potential. Recent studies have shown that the deeper the punt, the more stable the wine is inside the bottle, which helps sediment build up and reduces the risk of oxidization, thus improving the wine's aging performance.


How does the depth of the base of the bottle affect the quality of the wine?


Facilitates sediment aggregation: deeper grooves keep sediment away from the mouth of the bottle, reducing the likelihood of mixing with the wine during decanting.

Strengthens the bottle: deeper grooves provide better structural support, especially for sparkling wine bottles with high air pressure.

Optimize wine contact area: Properly designed flutes reduce the rate of oxidation, preserving the complexity of the wine's flavor.


How do buyers choose the right glass bottle?


When purchasing wine bottles, buyers should pay attention to the depth of the grooves on the bottom of the bottle as well as the overall bottle design. For example, high end aged wines are usually made with deep grooves, while everyday table wines tend to be made with lighter grooves.
