The Story Behind the Shape: 3 Unique Wine Bottle Stories Explained
In this episode, sommelier Erin Rosar delves into the fascinating world of wine bottle shapes, sharing the stories behind four uniquely designed bottles that customers often identify by shape rather than name.
Highlighted are the flask-shaped Mateus Rosé bottle inspired by WWI flasks, the amphora-shaped Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi bottle which echoes ancient Roman and Greek vessels, the gnarled vine-inspired Châteauneuf-du-Pape bottle, and the basket-covered Chianti's fiasco bottle, a symbol of Italian wine that had to overcome its association with lower quality.
Through these stories, Erin aims to enrich your wine knowledge and appreciation and offer you insights into the historical and practical reasons behind these distinct designs.
