Wine Bottle Shapes

There are 3 main wine bottle shapes that you'll find in the UK. Often the shape will tell you what's in the bottle. The high shouldered Bordeaux bottle often contains Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot varieties. The sloping shouldered, fat-bottomed Burgundy bottle normally contains Chardonnay or Pinot Noir. The tall thin sloping shouldered Alsace bottle is mainly used for Riesling and is green. A similar bottle is used in Germany but is brown and even blue (Blue Nun!). Champagne bottles (you know the shape!) need heavier glass to deal with the higher pressure of the fizz, while the dimple at the bottom is essential to minimise the chance of the bottle exploding. Next issue - why the dimple in other wine bottles?!
