Among the three most popular bottles, Burgundy bottles were the first to be widely accepted. This wine bottle was invented in the 19th century. In order to reduce the difficulty of production by the workers, the shoulder of the bottle was designed to be narrow. After the advent of this bottle, Burgundy wine producers began to use this bottle to hold Chardonnay (Chardonnay) white wine and Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir) red wine.
Within a few decades, wine bottles of this shape have gained tremendous popularity. This is mainly because it is bottled with very high-quality Chardonnay white wine and Pinot Noir red wine. As these two wines become more and more popular in the world, this kind of wine bottle has also been widely promoted.
Nowadays, most red wines with similar flavors to Pinot Noir (bright color, light-bodied, and complex wines) may also be bottled in this shape of wine bottles, such as Nebbiolo red wine and Gamay ( Gamay) red wine and Etna Rosso (Etna Rosso) and so on. If you find that white wine is also bottled in this Burgundy bottle, it means that this wine is likely to have been aged in oak barrels, but now Chardonnay that is not aged in oak barrels also often uses this shape of wine Bottled bottling.
