Bordeaux Bottle is one of the most common and popular bottle types at present. Its shoulders are generally high and wide, so it is convenient to remove precipitation when pouring wine. Typical wines in this bottle are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In addition to France, other Old World wineries borrowed the bottle, such as Chianti in Italy. In addition, many New World producers also use this type of bottle to hold Bordeaux style wine.
