Elusive Little Bottles!

Nov 03, 2003 6 Replies

I can't find these things anywhere! I need AMBER-colored 325 mL wine bottles, but all I find are clear, green, and blue. Anyone know of a US supplier? Links appreciated!



Many thanks,



Cam


Hell, all I ever found were green. Where'd you find the blue and clear?

Sure, if you do not mind hock style. Piwine.com; Presque Isle Wine Cellar in Northeast, PA. Just remember to interleave them if you stack them, they slope pretty severely toward the neck.

They have a lot of 'stuff' that is not in the catalog, by the way. It never hurts to ask. I bought old french riddling racks there once. Regards, Joe

I don't remember the specific shops, but an hour or so of Googling "winemaking supply" came up with several. Some of them get really fancy--square blue, frosted clear, etc. It took me a while to figure out that "flint" meant "clear."

Alas, all their catalog lists are green and clear.

Should have everything you want in stock, but generally only sell to wholesalers/wineries with a tax number if you know some one. A call there might lead you to a wholesaler in your area if you are on the East coast. Never the less they have good photos of all of the different styles and colors. HTH John Dixon

Hey, Cam! Ever try beer bottles? After being capped, they can be dressed as a full sized wine bottle and look great. The size you want is available in baby Bud (Budwieser) and Coors. The color might be a bit dark (dark carmel or resin brown). Miller's "baby bottles" have an interesting slope to their long necks, but are clear. I bottle my "fortified" wines in these and consume them as sigle servings.

Good Luck! Jim L.
