Is it true that the deeper the inverted dimple on the bottom of the bottle the better the wine?!
This site addresses your question. What I got from reading it is that the deeper the dimple the more expensive the wine. I don't know if that makes it better or not. Personally, I prefer the taste of most cheaper wines, but then, I'm not a big fan of wine anyway.

No, it just means you're getting less wine.
There *is* a correlation, but it isn't true 100% of the time.
yes it was on a programme on the telly last week, it said that the deeper the dimple the better the wine.
IF THAT WERE THE TRUTH, IN WHAT WAY EXACTLY; WOULD THE WINE BE 'BETTER'?
YOU MAY LOVE A PARTICULAR WINE FROM A BOTTLE WITH A VERY DEEP DIMPLE, YET I MAY HATE IT.
THERE IS NO CONNECTION AT ALL!
(CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE GLASS DOES HAVE TO BE THREE TIMES AS THICK THOUGH, DUE TO THE EXTRA PRESSURE!)
IF IT WAS the vineyards would all buy bottles with big dimples and you would be fooled into thinking you had bought good wine instead of rubbish.
logically this cannot be the case, or everybody would do it and this would not be right.
yeah its something to do with how long it has been fermenting or something.
Don't know my wine comes in a bag.
Supposedly
The test of a good wine is in the tasting.
perhaps in the cost of production so only the richer vineyard owners can buy bigger dimpled bottles, but whether they produce the best wine is for me, not proven. wine is a matter of taste and what pleases your senses.

apparently so, but it's to do with another few things like the viscosity of it for a start (if you swirl it, and how long it takes to drop down the glass.. the longer the better..
the colour also and ultimately the taste
I drink rioja (spanish red) and you can tell the big difference in taste with the cheaper bottles.
it's down to what we like individually =)
No........
This is not true at all. The dimple you are asking about is called a punt, and it was used in old-fashioned glass-blowing techniques to make the bottle stronger and less likely to break. It also helped the round bottles to be more stable. Some wineries today still use punted bottles for traditional reasons.
The punt has nothing to do with the quality, quantity, or taste of the wine.
mmm?...i've been known to casually caress the bottoms of wine bottles in the supermarket aisles!
never really knew my reasoning as i'd also been informed of this top tip & always had good wine from this practice but that cud just be that i like most red wine thou? ; )
No correlation whatsoever !!!!!
And the dimple is called a "punt"
