In daily life, everyone has discovered that some high-end atmospheric grades of 750ML wine, even if the wine has been finished, the empty bottle is still very weighty.

Then why should the bottle be made into a heavy bottle?

01 old wine requires heavy bottles

The original intention of the design of the heavy-duty bottle is that in order to make the high-quality wine better, it can be better in the bottle for a long time. If the bottle is too light and too thin, it will be easily broken during handling. In addition to the weight of the bottle, the bottom of the heavy bottle is often There is a thick groove design that allows the precipitation of aged wine to accumulate inside.

02 sparkling wine requires heavy bottles

Champagne and other sparkling wines should use heavy bottles, because there are a lot of bubbles in the sparkling wine, the pressure inside the bottle is very high, for example, there are 5 to 6 standard atmospheres in the champagne bottle, one tire in the ordinary car, the tire pressure does not exceed 2.5 Atmospheric pressure, the first finger, the former is more than twice the pressure of the latter, so in order to withstand high pressure, heavy bottles are necessary.

03 in order to better protect the liquor

Wine is a delicate beauty. Light, high temperature, large temperature changes and vibration during transportation can affect the quality of wine. The thickness of the bottle of heavy bottle is thicker than that of ordinary bottles, which can effectively reduce the above disadvantages. The infringement of the liquor protects the wine.

04 less production, more suitable for investment

In the auction market, 750mL standard bottle wine is too ordinary, the output is relatively large, and the potential for ageing is not as good as that of large bottled wine, so it is not as much as the bottled wine.

For some top wines, large bottled wines have better ageing ability, are safer and more secure, and have less production. Therefore, they are often the darling of the auction market, and they are sold at a higher price and are more suitable for investment.

In fact, in actual situations, the reason why heavy bottles are used is the same as the above.

However, most of the wines in the heavy-duty bottles on the market are not really good wines, but are used to satisfy consumers' desire to buy things and see packaging.

Therefore, everyone still has to look carefully and buy again!
