The 750ml Bordeaux Green Wine Glass Bottle 157 is a broad, cork-finish claret bottle with a visibly deep punt, built for on-premise and sommelier-driven programs where the pour itself is part of the product. The photograph shows everything that defines the mold: a high, confident shoulder, a wide body in dark olive-green glass, and a pronounced push-up dome rising at the base. It is the bottle for flagship reds, tasting-room exclusives and restaurant wine lists that sell aged Bordeaux-style blends by the bottle. Dimensions, punt depth and finish details are confirmed on the technical drawing issued with every quotation.
The Deep Punt, Seen from the Base
Among our Bordeaux molds, bottle 157 is distinguished by its base. The punt — the push-up dome at the bottom of the bottle — is clearly pronounced in the photograph, rising well into the body and leaving a broad, stable bearing ring at the heel. Above it, the body runs wide and nearly straight to a high shoulder, and the dark olive glass shows real depth of tone through the base, a visual cue of substance in the hand. The neck is moderately long with a classic cork finish and lip ring. These are qualitative observations; punt depth, heel diameter and glass distribution figures come from the confirmed drawing, so your line can verify gripper clearance and checkweigher settings before the first run.
Punt Depth as Ritual and Sediment Management
The deep punt does two kinds of work. The first is ritual: the sommelier’s pour, thumb seated in the punt, fingers spread along the body, is tableside theatre that guests notice and remember. A bottle that supports that gesture comfortably earns its place on serious wine lists. The second is practical. A pronounced push-up gives sediment in bottle-aged reds somewhere to collect below the shoulder of the dome, so the last glass pours cleaner when the bottle is handled correctly, and it gives the bottle extra stability on the table. For wineries releasing cellar-aged Cabernet and Merlot blends into the on-premise channel, those two functions — ceremony and sediment control — are exactly why this mold exists.
Weight, Stance and On-Premise Presence
Restaurants buy glass with their hands. Bottle 157’s wide body, high shoulder and deep punt give it a planted stance and a perceived heft that reads as premium before the cork is drawn; exact glass weight is confirmed at quotation against the current drawing, since distribution can be tuned per run. On a white tablecloth the dark olive tone reads almost black, which lets capsule and label carry the brand while the glass provides the gravitas. For by-the-bottle programs where the package must justify the list price, this physical presence is a selling tool, not an indulgence.
Quality Assurance to International Standards
Heavy presentation glass must still pass the same laboratory discipline as our volume molds. Every campaign of bottle 157 is tested for thermal-shock resistance per ASTM C149 and ISO 7459, internal pressure strength per ISO 7458, and vertical-load and impact performance on shift samples. Base and heel thickness mapping is checked with particular care on this mold because of the deep punt geometry, and finish gauges verify cork seal integrity. A lot-level QC report ships with your export documents.
Protective Packing for Heavy Glass
A wider, heavier bottle demands disciplined packing. Orders ship on export pallets in cartons with dividers or in bulk layers, with edge protectors, top sheets and machine shrink wrap from the line shown above. Pallet patterns for this mold are configured for its broader footprint, and the loading plan with your quotation states exact pallet and container counts. Buyers consolidating this flagship mold with volume-tier siblings can review our import guide for consolidation and documentation basics.
Samples, MOQ and Customization
The standard minimum is one 20-foot container; flagship programs often consolidate bottle 157 with volume molds to balance the shipment, and our MOQ guide explains how furnace campaigns set the floor. Stock samples ship within three to five working days so your team and your sommelier partners can handle the bottle before you commit. Custom options include embossed crests in the body or base at sufficient volume, alternative glass tones on dedicated runs, and printed export cartons. Contact our export team with your target volume and destination port for a drawing and firm quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
How deep is the punt on this bottle?
It is visibly pronounced — the deepest in our current Bordeaux family — designed for sediment management and the sommelier’s thumb-in-punt pour. The exact punt depth is stated on the technical drawing issued with your quotation.
What is the MOQ for the deep-punt bottle 157?
One 20-foot container per mold is standard. Flagship programs commonly consolidate this bottle with volume-tier molds in one shipment; confirmed counts appear on your loading plan.
Is it cork or screw cap?
Bottle 157 has a classic cork finish for natural or technical cork under a capsule. Share our finish drawing with your cork supplier to match cork diameter and compression to the bore.
How many bottles fit on a pallet?
The broader body means fewer bottles per layer than slim molds. The exact pallet pattern and container utilization are confirmed on the loading plan with your quotation.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Stock samples dispatch within three to five working days; courier freight is on the buyer. We recommend having your sommelier or service team handle the sample bottle.
Can the base carry an embossed mark?
Embossed crests or punt marks are possible with dedicated mold work and a higher minimum quantity. Send your artwork and annual volume estimate and we will confirm feasibility and cost.
