00:00If you've been told a heavier bottle means better wine, then you've been lied to.
00:04If you pick up a really heavy bottle of wine, you probably think that it's expensive.
00:09And that's not wrong. Research shows that a heavy bottle is often associated with increased costs.
00:14But that weight is all just glass. There's no difference in the amount of wine inside.
00:18So it's thicker glass, a bigger indentation on the bottle, called the punt.
00:21Heavier bottles cost more to transport. It's more glass, more weight being shipped around,
00:25and a bigger environmental footprint. Don't judge a wine by its bottle.
