GPS-BWS-2209 / Beverage, Wine & Spirits
A tall, narrow half-bottle for intensely sweet wines — ice wine, Sauternes-style, late-harvest and noble-rot wines — sold in small 200 ml and 375 ml formats. The slender profile signals a premium, sip-sized dessert wine and lets producers price a concentrated, labour-intensive product by the half.
Specification
Product Knowledge
Background, typical uses, construction, filling guidance and production notes for buyers selecting this container for bulk supply or private-label programs.
Dessert wines like ice wine are made from grapes picked frozen or shrivelled, yielding very little juice per vine, so they are extraordinarily concentrated and expensive. The slim half-bottle (and smaller) format reflects both how the wine is drunk — in small glasses — and how it must be priced.
The tall, narrow silhouette has become a category cue in its own right, telling the shopper this is a precious, sippable wine rather than a table bottle.
Canadian and German ice wine (Eiswein), Sauternes and Barsac-style botrytised wines, late-harvest Rieslings, vin de paille, Tokaji-style and other sweet dessert wines. Flint glass is often chosen so the deep gold or amber color of the wine is visible through the bottle.
A narrow body and small volume, finished for cork or screw cap. Because the wines are valuable, the bottle is frequently paired with a gold capsule and a rigid gift box. The slim profile means a taller bottle for its capacity, which is factored into carton and gift-pack design.
Filled cold; precise fill height matters in small formats where a few millilitres is a visible proportion of the bottle. Sweet wines are sensitive to light and oxidation, so closure quality and, where flint glass is used, shaded storage are worth attention.
Formed by blow-and-blow or NNPB; the slim body needs careful glass distribution to stay even over the height in a small bottle. Annealed, coated and finish-gauged for the chosen closure.
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.
