We all know that wine bottles have various shapes according to different production regions, but in fact, in addition to the shape, the color of wine bottles is also different, and these colors also have their own meanings.
with the advancement of technology, all kinds of wine bottles came out gradually, so brown, blue and white wine bottles appeared. So why until now, we still use green wine bottles? With such advanced technology, the use of green wine bottles has remained high.
Green is a cultural heritage
For example, the bottle of Bordeaux red wine is dark green, while its dry white wine is usually placed in a light green bottle. Because green can effectively block and absorb light so that it is difficult to enter the wine and effectively prevent the peroxidation of wine, the use of dark, especially green wine bottles can create a good storage environment for wine aging. Moreover, the use of green wine bottles is a kind of cultural inheritance.
What is the role of wine glass bottles in other colors? Does color have anything to do with wine quality?
Because ultraviolet rays can accelerate the molecular movement of wine and destroy the stability of wine body. Therefore, those wines that need to age for a long time will mostly be packed in colored glass bottles. Relatively speaking, white wine does not need too long aging time, so the color of the bottle containing white wine is relatively light. In addition, the transparent glass bottle is fresh and bright, and the colorful rosé wine is often used in a white transparent bottle.
black and green is a family
Black and green wine bottles have a certain blocking effect on light, which can prevent the oxidation of wine, and is beneficial to the aging storage of wine. But brown filters light more than green bottles, so this color bottle is relatively more conducive to the aging of wine.
Girls love big white
The white transparent glass bottle can undoubtedly display attractive colors in front of everyone, giving people a fresh and beautiful feeling, and through the wine bottle, you can clearly see the wine liquid so as to preliminarily judge the quality of the wine, which is convenient for purchase.
However, white wine bottles do not have much filtering ability for light, and are suitable for white wine, rosé wine and sweet wine. Most of these wines are ready-to-drink and are not suitable for long-term storage and aging. (→_→Don’t compete with the editor with wine such as Dijin)
blue with special meaning
Some wineries use blue glass bottles, which are generally not ordinary wines, and some may have special meanings, or to highlight some non-mainstream elements of the wine. Now with the emergence of professional wine cabinets and wine cellars, wine storage has become easy and perfect. The influence of wine bottle color on wine liquid is weaker, but it is still an important influencing factor.
