GPS-BWS-7377 / Beverage, Wine & Spirits
The Burgundy bottle has gently sloping shoulders and a wider body than the Bordeaux, the traditional home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its softer silhouette reads as more artisanal and is used across both classic Burgundian varieties and a wide range of premium New World wines.

Product Knowledge
Background, typical uses, construction, filling guidance and production notes for buyers selecting this container for bulk supply or private-label programs.
Where the Bordeaux bottle is angular, the Burgundy is curved: sloping shoulders flow into a wider body with no sharp break. The shape is older and is associated with the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy, but it is now a worldwide signal of a softer, more traditional style of wine.
Its broader body makes it feel more substantial in the hand, which is one reason premium producers of Pinot, Chardonnay and Rhône varieties favour it even outside Burgundy.
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Rhône-style reds, and many premium whites are bottled in Burgundy glass. It is also a common base bottle for some sparkling wines. The wider footprint means it occupies more space in the case and on the shelf than a Bordeaux of the same volume.
The bottle uses a cork mouth to the CETIE standard, with screw-cap (BVS) versions available. Glass weight again ranges from lightweight eco bottles to heavy prestige formats; the sloping shoulder distributes glass slightly differently from the Bordeaux, and tooling is set to keep the shoulder wall sound. A punt is standard.
As with all still wine, fill cold and control fill height for cork seating and label registration. The wider body is marginally more sensitive to impact on the shoulder, so line guides are set accordingly. Use dark glass for light-sensitive wines that will sit under retail lighting.
Formed by blow-and-blow or NNPB, annealed and surface-coated like other wine bottles. The sloped shoulder is defined in the blow mold, and the finish is gauged for cork or screw-cap compatibility before packing.
Build Options
A packaging program is more than the glass. Closure, liner, fill process, label area and export carton should be confirmed together before the first sample or bulk order.
Confirm brimful capacity, practical fill level, body proportions and label panel so the chosen size suits the product and the line.
Match lug, CT, cork, pump or dispensing closures with the right liner for the fill temperature, viscosity and sealing method.
Clear or amber glass, sprayed color, frosting, embossing and decoration are checked against shelf presentation and light protection.
Carton partitions, pallet pattern, loading plan and shipping marks are planned for long-distance transport and warehouse handling.
Applications
Share filling temperature, product acidity, viscosity and shelf-life target so we can check the container, closure liner and packing method before quotation.
Review available molds first, then evaluate color, decoration or a mold change if the project needs a differentiated retail look.
Confirm capacity, closure fit, liner selection, label area and carton protection with samples before bulk production.
Cartons, dividers, pallet loading and shipping marks are planned for distributors, warehouses and multi-country shipments.
Bulk Quote
Send capacity, quantity, closure, decoration and destination details. We will return practical MOQ guidance, sample options and export packing recommendations.
