Different Types Of Glass Bottles

Glass bottles come in varying shapes and sizes, and are used for a multitude of reasons. The beginning of the glass bottle is mapped as far back as 1500 B.C. and small glass bottles have been discovered in several Pharaohs tombs. Undoubtedly, glass is the most suitable material for containing and protecting beverages. We will look at some of the more popular ones and their functions.

GLASS WINE BOTTLE

A wine bottle is used to contain wine, and is usually made of glass. A customary wine bottle holds about 0.75 litre of liquid. More traditional glass wine bottles are preserved with corks, but screw-top caps are becoming increasingly popular as well. In countries like Portugal, Germany, France, Spain and Italy, determining the silhouette of wine bottles is heavily influenced by local customs. Champagne and sparkling wine bottles tend to be more thick-walled and expansive with a prominent punt and shoulders which slope, whereas Burgundy and Rhone bottles tend to be taller with smaller punts and sloping shoulders. One unique glass wine bottle would be for Chianti, as it has a flask which is round bottomed.

GLASS PERFUME BOTTLE

The glass perfume bottle is used to contain aromatic fragrances and is made from every type of glass imaginable. Some of the more exclusive ones include Baccarat, Schiaparelli and Lalique. The word perfume is borrowed from the original Latin text per fumum, which when deciphered means “through smoke”. In ancient times, glass perfume bottles were made from blown glass. The Victorians however, prefer glass bottles mounted with silver. In the fifties, glass perfume bottles to complement the fashion of those times which is evocative of the Art Deco epoch in design. Glass perfume bottles have shaped a great element of our social history, especially those created by leading fashion houses.

GLASS DECANTERS

A decanter is a vessel that is used to hold the decantation of a liquid which may contain sediment. They vary in shape and design, and throughout the history of wine, glass decanters have played a significant role in the serving of wine. Glass decanters made a comeback during the Renaissance era and initiated the approach of an extensive and willowy neck that opens to a spacious body. Most decanters possess a tall, erect shape and are completed of glass. Decanters (with stoppers) are also used to contain Cognac or Single Malt Scotch whiskey.

LIQUOR GLASS BOTTLE

Liquor of all nature, be it Gin, Whiskey or Vodka are bottled in glass bottles in all forms and dimensions, an assortment from diminutive flasks which hold a few ounces to demijohns and carboys which can store many gallons. There are classic inclinations in profiles that indicate a glass bottle as very possible to have been used chiefly as a container for high alcohol spirits planned for consumption. Glass liquor bottle miscellany is stupendously multifaceted in depth and range. It is interesting to note that right about Prohibition era, mouth-blown glass bottles were steadily being replaced with machine-made ones. If you come across a mouth-blown glass liquor bottle, chances are it pre-dates National Prohibition.
