Definizione: Receptacle made of glass with a narrow neck containing liquid, especially wine; capacity and shape according to region. 1
Nota: Some wines are fermented in the bottle, others are bottled only after fermentation. They come in a large variety of sizes, several named for Biblical kings and other figures. The standard bottle contains 75 cL, although this is a relatively recent development. Wine bottles are usually sealed with cork, but screw-top caps are becoming popular, and there are several other methods used to seal a bottle. 2
Contesto: By the 1850s, wine bottles had become such a world standard that wines were being sold in bottles considered traditional for different regions. 3
