When was the first time glass was used to store wine?
Answers:
The Romans, amongst other things, developed glass blowing. Glass was quickly found to be a good medium for storing wine - it did not affect the wine's flavor, you could easily see what wine was inside the bottle, and so on. The trouble was with the method of manufacture. Glass at the time was hand blown, and bottles therefore varied wildly in size. Consumers never knew exactly how much wine they were getting. http://www.wineintro.com/history/glasswa...
