SOMMELIER vs common mouth: the evolution of beauty

Although the conservation of wine and spirits has a long history that goes back to very distant times, the idea of using to store wine became popular in the 18th century in Europe. Since the Middle Ages, this material had been used to preserve everything from perfumes to liquors in containers that arose out of the skill and expertise of the former glassblowers, thanks to the centuries-old hand made glass bottle technique, which remained almost unaltered until the beginning of the 19th century. It is at that time when a Bristol glassmaker manufactured a mold to produce glass bottles in series, a contribution that allowed to standardize its shape, production times and embossing letters on each bottle.

Traditionally, the wine bottles that have been used over time in all these countries have always been very similar.
