Xiaobian found that some friends and elders around me like to choose heavy bottles when buying wine. Their explanation is that the wine bottles are heavy and the quality is better...
However, this can also be understood, the so-called expensive and precious, people often associate the expensive and heavy, the bottle is too light people will not think of the grade, especially the gift does not feel good. But it must be said that there is really no connection between the weight and quality of the wine bottle.
Why are some wine bottles more heavy?
1 better protection of wine
Wine is a living liquid, and the light, vibration, temperature changes and vibration during transportation are all “killers” against the quality of wine. Therefore, thick bottles can protect wine more effectively and reduce these effects.
2 better aged results
Premium wines require long-term aging, and bottles that are too thin and too light are prone to breakage. The bottle of the heavy-duty bottle is thicker, the bottle is slightly wider and slightly wider, and it has a more textured texture, but the cost is relatively higher than that of the ordinary bottle, and the price of the wine is naturally increased.
In recent years, the Bordeaux Wine Association has also advocated the “low-carbon” road for wine bottle production from the perspective of environmental protection. It is proposed that the weight of the bottle should not exceed 265 grams.
People's awareness of environmental protection is getting stronger and stronger, but between the time they like heavy bottles and the unwillingness to increase the price of wine, this is indeed a thing that needs to be slowly changed.
3 sparkling wine requires a thicker bottle
I don't know if you have noticed that the bottle of sparkling wine is thicker than the ordinary wine bottle. This is because sparkling wine contains a lot of carbon dioxide, and the pressure inside the bottle is very large. For example, there are 5 or 6 standard atmospheric pressures of champagne, which cannot be tolerated by ordinary wine bottles.
Use a heavy bottle and a mushroom cap to stopper, and use a wire mesh to hold the stopper to prevent the stopper from collapsing in advance.
However, ordinary table wine does not need to use heavy bottles, so when you choose wine, don't pay too much attention to the appearance. There are many "big coffee"-level wine packagings that are ordinary, and the inner is the most important, isn't it?
In addition, there are rumors that the deeper the groove at the bottom of the wine bottle, the better the wine.
In fact, the original invention of the groove was only for the stability of the bottle, and then accidentally found that the groove also has the function of helping to precipitate the slag. It's just a craft.
Deep trough is equal to good wine and there is no basis for it.
