Apr 09
Today’s question was sent in from Nadine from the Meetpacking district (New York, NY) who asks “Why do some bottles have a dimple at the bottom of the bottle and some don’t?”.
Video sump up: Why do some bottles have a dimple and some don’t?
The dimple is an indentation at the bottom of the bottle. There is no conclusive answer at why it exists:
- It certainly exists for manufacturing reasons (easier to produce)
- With the punt it is also easier to hold the bottle in an elegant fashion
- The dimple finally allows the sediments to move away from the wine and stuck into the circular channel
This dimple is called a punt which varies in depth.
