Antique wine bottles

The evolution of bottle shapes during the 18th century made possible the storing and ageing of wines; or perhaps it was the realisation that some wines benefited from ageing that prompted the development of a bottle shape more suitable for “binning” – that is, storing bottles on their side to keep the cork wet, and therefore the seal intact for a longer period. In the 17th century wine bottles generally had fat, round bodies with squarish shoulders and rather long necks. The shape is well…

The bottles closest to the time period are from 1741 and 1753.
