Miksi viinipulloissa on pohjassa se "kuoppa"?

vahan - pullo nayttaa isomalta ulosopain kuin mita se oikeasti onkaan koska sen tilavuutta on pienennetty - uskotellaan asiakkaalle etta pullo on isompi kuin mita se oikeasti on. nokkelaa.

A punt, also known as a kick-up, refers to the dimple at the bottom of a wine bottle. There is no consensus explanation for its purpose. The more commonly cited explanations include:[1]



* It is a historical remnant from the era when wine bottles were free blown using a blowpipe and pontil. This technique leaves a punt mark on the base of the bottle; by indenting the point where the pontil is attached, this scar would not scratch the table or make the bottle unstable.

* It had the function of making the bottle less likely to topple over—a bottle designed with a flat bottom only needs a small imperfection to make it unstable—the dimple historically allowed for a larger margin of error.

* It consolidates sediment deposits in a thick ring at the bottom of the bottle, preventing much/most of it from being poured into the glass;[10]

* It increases the strength of the bottle, allowing it to hold the high pressure of sparkling wine/champagne.

* It holds the bottles in place on pegs of a conveyor belt as they go through the filling process in manufacturing plants.

* It accommodates the pourer's thumb for stability and ease of pouring.

* According to legend the punt was used by servants. They often knew more than their master about what was happening in town, and with a thumb up the punt they could show their master whether a guest was reliable or not. (Vinavisen 19 may 2008 - danish)

* It provides a grip for riddling a bottle of sparkling wine manually in the traditional champagne production process.

* It simply takes up some of the volume of the bottle, giving the impression that you're getting more wine for your money than is actually the case.

* Taverns had a steel pin set vertically in the bar. The empty bottle would be thrust bottom-end down onto this pin, puncturing a hole in the top of the punt, guaranteeing the bottle could not be refilled [folklore].

* The punt acts as a lens, refracting the light to make the color of the wine more appealing.

* Prevents the bottle from resonating as easily, decreasing the likelihood of shattering during transportation.

* Allows bottles to be more easily stacked end to end.[11]

* An indication of wine quality (the deeper the punt, the better the wine).
