Why does the wine named above have a funny shaped bottle?

[welshlibranr]

No idea, but not one of my favourites really, prefer Stowell's White Grenache personally!.....................

So that people (like you) notice it.

[sophie_1003]

It's actually my Mums, was a birthday present and my brother seems to think that because of the dip in the side of the bottle it's so it can be held all waiter-ish but I'm not so sure!

[sophie_1003]

I hadn't even noticed lacmag, not until my brother pointed it out lol!

[welshlibranr]

Yes! Good bottle! But not good wine!.....................

[sophie_1003]

fair enough, I won't be the one drinking it anyway so won't bother me!

[welshlibranr]

Well! it's passable, but not great! Chilled it's ok!.........................

[sophie_1003]

Chilled?? The one my Mum's got is red so surely room temperature is required?

[welshlibranr]

Oh yes! I had the Rose'..............sorry.....................
.......room
temp is best.................hope they enjoy!................

Probably a bit of a gimic to be honest sophie.
Many wine producers use quirky names, wonky bottles and other such eyecatching ideas to make their wine more appealing than others on the same shelf. My thoughts are that if they have to use those tactics to sell their wine then it is usually best to steer clear!

To be totally honest,it is so it can sit on the radiator next to my comfy chair without falling off.HONEST!!

yipee, it worked this time :) (still a bit wobbly at posting links)
jp chenet has it's place, most of it's very drinkable but not wonderful, a bit like, say, oddbins own brand.
as for the bottle, a marketing ploy....and annoying because it won't fit in a wine rack.

[tamborine]

warning you of how bent you'll be after drinking

[Booldawg]

JP Chenet doesnt fit in my wine rack.
