Product Knowledge
Background, typical uses and selection points for this product. We can send model drawings, technical data and samples to support your evaluation.
Fortified-wine bottles share the sturdy, dark character of red-wine glass but add features for the category. Because fortified wine is higher in alcohol and keeps for weeks after opening, many producers choose a bar-top finish that takes a T-cork, so the bottle can be opened and resealed by hand many times.
Our standard model has rounded shoulders, a straight neck and amber glass; the classic bulb-neck port profile is available for vintage styles.
We supply these bottles for ruby, tawny and vintage port, sherry, madeira, marsala, vermouth and other fortified and dessert wines. Vintage ports intended for long aging usually take a driven cork, while tawnies, sherries and vermouths meant for earlier drinking often use a bar-top stopper. The 500 ml format is popular for sherry and dessert wines served by the glass.
Amber or near-black green glass shields the wine from light during long maturation and in display. The neck is made either as a standard cork bore or as a bar-top mouth sized for T-corks; the bulb-neck port version adds a swelling in the neck that helps trap sediment when vintage port is decanted. Glass weight sits on the heavier side for strength and a premium feel.
Fill cool and set fill height for the closure you use. Vintage ports are laid down for years, so cork quality and a sound bore matter; bar-top styles must reseal repeatedly, which makes consistent bore dimensions essential. Dark glass and cellar storage protect the wine through long aging.
Send us your T-cork or driven-cork specification and we’ll match the bore and supply samples for fitting.
These bottles are formed by blow-and-blow, which creates the body and the specialized neck, including the bulb where required. Annealing relieves stress in the heavier glass, and every finish, plain bore or bar-top, is gauged for cork fit.
We can add embossed seals or house crests, adjust weight and supply the bottle with matching bar-top corks and capsules as a complete package.
