Home › Wine Bottles Wholesale: Buyer's Guide
Wholesale wine bottle buying is decided by five things: the bottle shape your wine style expects, the glass color, the closure it accepts, the customization you need, and how the bottles are packed for shipping.
| Shape | Classic wine | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bordeaux (high shoulder) | Cabernet, Merlot | Straight sides suit sediment retention |
| Burgundy (sloping) | Pinot Noir, Chardonnay | Softer profile, larger body |
| Flute / Hock | Riesling, Mosel styles | Tall and slim, traditional for whites |
Antique green and amber glass protect light-sensitive wines; flint (clear) glass is chosen for visual presentation, usually for whites and rosés consumed young. Color also affects how label and capsule colors read on the shelf.
Confirm the bore and finish before ordering closures: cork bore, screw-cap finish (STELVIN), and glass stopper tops are different bottle specifications. Matching capsules and wirehoods for sparkling presentations must be ordered to the same neck dimension.
Follow the wine style convention: Bordeaux shapes for Cabernet and Merlot, Burgundy shapes for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, tall flutes for Riesling styles. Convention helps buyers identify the wine style at a glance.
