Not Only Wine Makes a Wine

The use of certain types of bottle for certain wine regions or wine is a practice established a long time ago. Some bottles can evoke certain characteristics or a origin and works as marketing sign to the customer mind. It is the reason why even the European Union has decided to regulate the usage of specific bottles to certain wine or wine region. The EU regulation says the regulated specific types of bottle should have been exclusively and traditionally used for the last 25 years for a wine with particular region and it should evoke a wine with certain origin. The EU decided to protect two types of bottles from France, Flute d"Alsace and Clavelin. Flute dŇ€™Alsace - it is bottle of straight cylindrical body with long neck. This bottle is being used for wines produced in France with designations:Alsace, vin dŇ€™Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru, CrĂ©py, ChĂţteau-Grillet, CĂ´tes de Provence, Cassis, JuranĂýon, JuranĂýon sec, BĂ©arn, BĂ©arn-Bellocq, Tavel. Clavelin - a bottle with short neck which contains only 0,62 litres. It has a cylindrical body with broad shoulders. The bottle looks like a squat appearance. The bottle should be used for wines with origin designation: CĂ´te du Jura, Arbois, LŇ€™Etoile and ChĂţteau Chalon. Bordeaux wines are usuallz bottled into straight-sided and high shouldered bottle. Wines from Burgundy and Rhone are in tall bottles with sloping shoulders and smaller punt. Champagne and sparkling wines generally are sold in thick-walled and wide bottles with pronounced punt and sloping shoulders. Find out more about French wines at www.aboutfrenchwine.com.
