The 750ml Bordeaux Green Wine Glass Bottle 158 is a slim, line-friendly Bordeaux mold built for volume: négociant houses, blenders and private-label importers who ship wine by the program, not by the pallet. In the photograph its character is clear — a narrow, straight body with modest glass weight cues, an efficient shoulder, and a screw-thread (BVS) finish for fast, capper-friendly closing. Where ceremonial molds sell ritual, this one sells economics: more bottles per pallet position, clean depalletizing, and a landed cost that works at sharp retail price points. Exact dimensions and thread specification are confirmed on the technical drawing at quotation.
A Slim, Line-Friendly Bordeaux for Volume Programs
Within our Bordeaux family, bottle 158 is the efficient one. The body runs narrow and straight from shoulder to heel with little ornamentation, which keeps the silhouette tidy in a six-pack carrier and maximizes the number of bottles that sit inside a given pallet footprint. The glass shows a mid-olive green tone and a lighter visual weight than the heavy reserve molds — a deliberate balance between shelf presence and material efficiency. The neck is clean and moderately long, finishing in a visible thread rather than a cork ring. These are qualitative observations from the photo; body diameter, height and finish dimensions come from the drawing we issue with your quotation, so your depalletizer, filler and capper can be verified before the first container ships.
Case Economics for Négociant and Blender Shipments
When your business model is blending, bottling and shipping by the program, glass is a cost line, not a marketing object — and this mold is priced and packed accordingly. A slim body improves container utilization; a standard BVS finish means caps are commodity items available from multiple suppliers worldwide; and a running stock mold keeps lead times short and reordering predictable. For négociant programs sold into supermarkets and discount retail, those three factors — freight efficiency, closure availability, supply continuity — decide whether a price point is achievable. Bottle 158 is the mold we recommend when the brief says “Bordeaux look, everyday tier, container-load economics.” Consolidating several SKUs in one shipment further improves per-case freight; see our import guide for consolidation basics.
Screw-Cap Ready for Export Markets
The threaded finish accepts Stelvin-type aluminum caps, the closure of choice for by-the-glass programs, fast-moving retail tiers and markets where cork taint risk is simply not tolerated. Cap application torque and thread engagement should be validated against the finish drawing with your closure supplier; liner choice between tin-saran and saranex follows the wine’s intended drinking window. If a small part of the program needs cork presentation for on-premise accounts, cork-finish siblings in the same family can join the same consolidated shipment.
ASTM C149, ISO 7459 and ISO 7458 Testing
Volume buyers audit suppliers, and our QC documentation is built for that scrutiny. Every campaign of bottle 158 is tested for thermal-shock resistance per ASTM C149 and ISO 7459, internal pressure strength per ISO 7458, plus vertical-load and impact checks on ware sampled through each shift. Thread finishes are gauged for consistent capping, wall thickness is mapped for even distribution, and a lot-level QC report ships with your documents. When your retail customer’s QA team asks for test evidence, you forward the same report we issued — no re-testing, no delays.
Pallet Density and Freight Cost Control
Orders ship on export pallets in bulk-layer or carton configurations, finished with edge protectors, top sheets and machine shrink wrap on the line shown above. Bulk-layer packing maximizes bottle count per pallet and suits automated depalletizing; cartons suit manual handling and smaller warehouses. The loading plan issued with your quotation states pallet count, layer count and container utilization, so your logistics team can cost freight per case before you sign. Send us your destination port and we will quote glass and freight together.
Ordering at Program Scale
The standard minimum is one 20-foot container per mold; program buyers typically consolidate two or three molds per shipment and reorder on a rolling schedule tied to bottling runs. Our MOQ explainer shows how furnace campaigns set minimums and where mixed-SKU flexibility exists. Stock samples ship within three to five working days for line trials, and repeat orders on a running mold typically produce 25 to 35 days after deposit. Send your annual volume estimate and bottling calendar and we will structure supply around it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bottles fit in a 20-foot container?
It depends on pallet pattern and whether you choose bulk layers or cartons. The slim body of this mold improves density; the exact pallet and container counts are stated on the loading plan with your quotation.
What is the MOQ for this bottle?
One 20-foot container per mold. Program buyers usually consolidate two or three molds per shipment and reorder on a rolling schedule tied to their bottling calendar.
Which screw caps fit this finish?
Standard Stelvin-type aluminum caps. Validate application torque against our finish drawing with your cap supplier; liner choice between tin-saran and saranex follows the wine’s drinking window.
What lead time should I plan for repeat orders?
For a running mold, production typically takes 25 to 35 days after deposit, plus ocean transit. Rolling programs can be scheduled against your bottling runs to keep safety stock low.
Can I get samples for line trials?
Yes. Stock samples dispatch within three to five working days; courier freight is on the buyer. They are intended for depalletizing, filling and capping trials before your first container.
Can cartons carry my brand print?
Yes. Printed export cartons with your branding, dividers and custom pallet labels are available; share artwork with your order and we confirm layout before production.
