Bottle Pontil
Why do some wine bottles have a much deeper / concave pontil than others?
I thought it was likely to collect sediment and had not realized they were all reasonable possibilities. Thank you for all the informative responses.
A punt, also known as kick-up, refers to the dimple in the bottom of a bottle of wine. There no consensus to explain its purpose. The explanations most commonly cited are: * is a symbol that more clearance is better wine * is a historical remains of the former technique of blowing glass; By raising the point where it meets the glass tube, the small imperfection does not scratch the table. * Who had the function of making the bottle less likely to fall - a bottle designed with a flat bottom only needs a small imperfection to be unstable - the dimple historically allowed greater margin of error * consolidates sediment deposits in a thick ring at the bottom of the bottle, preventing it from discharging in the glass * Allows a bottle of sparkling wine that is turned upside down and then stacked (depending on the form) * Increases the resistance of the bottle allowing it to maintain the high pressure of sparkling wine / Champagne, * can make the bottle look bigger buyers, * Have impressive bottles instead pine a conveyor belt and pass through the filling process in manufacturing plants and * hosts the pourer's thumb for stability and ease dump. * According to legend, the ball has been used by officials. They often knew more than his teacher about what was happening in the city, and one inch air in the punt, which could demonstrate his master if a guest is reliable or not.
