Why do different types of wine have different shaped bottles?
It seems like most types of wine have the same type of bottle regardless of brand. Is that true? Why?
Answers:
Traditionally bottles are shaped depending on what grapes are used in the wine and are specific to a particular area.

It's seems like wine has become very gourmet. It stylish to drink a good bottle of wine.
Many wine bottle shapes are a tradition of the region where the wine is produced, rather than identifying the brand. Bordeaux wine always comes in a bottle with straight vertical sides that abruptly curve into the neck of the bottle. Other wine regions may use a bottle that gently tapers to the neck.
