Reshaping the Wine Bottle
A new sediment-catching chamber at the bottom.
user ratingWine bottles are getting a makeover. Martín Berasategui, a celebrated Spanish chef whose eponymous restaurant boasts three Michelin stars, has reworked the traditional wine bottle shape into what may, at first, look odd. His design pinches the bottle close to its base, adding a sediment-catching chamber to the bottom. This brilliant shift allows the chamber to capture the dregs that remain in the bottom of the best red wines, which means oenophiles will savor every last drop.
Why mess with a shape has served us so well for so long? The design will allow drinkers to get an extra glass out of their best wines, and the new bottle removes the need to decant the wine as the shape acts as a decanter itself. Some wineries have already shown interest, with the hopes that the new bottle will streamline their wine production by bypassing the filtering steps. Bottom line: Fewer steps to make some of the finest wines in the world.—Denise Shoukas
