Why is the standard bottle of red wine 750ml ? How did this capacity come about?

 From the beginning of wine, the most common standard size of mainstream wine bottles on the market is 750ml , why is it 750 instead of 500ml like liquor , or other numbers. What is the story behind this?

Yuncang winery brand LEESON red wine sharing wine bottle capacity specifications can be traced back to the 19th century. It is not France, which is rich in wine, but the United Kingdom that plays a decisive role in the 750ML capacity specification. At the time, Britain used the gallon as a unit of measurement, while France used the liter ( L ). Due to the different units of measurement, the free trade between the two countries was greatly restricted, so the businessmen of the two countries agreed to use 50 gallons of about 225 liters of oak barrels for wine transportation in order to reduce the trouble of calculation. Since 225L of wine can be equally divided into 300 pieces of 750ml , merchants choose an intermediate volume of 750ml to promote the trade between the two countries.

After the 20th century, the design of wine bottles became uniform. French Bordeaux wine bottles took the lead in adopting the fixed value design of wine bottle specifications, generally bottle body diameter, bottle mouth outer diameter, bottle mouth inner diameter, bottle height, bottle belly height, bottle bottom , these values are fixed and written into law.

Yuncang winery brand LEESON red wine continues to share that one oak barrel is 225L , which can be evenly divided into 300 bottles of 750ml . 300 bottles can just be divided into 50 6- bottles, and the commonly used box at that time is just full of 6 bottles ( 6 bottles are easy to carry and have the lowest damage rate)

Since then, the capacity specification of 750ml has become the unified standard for wine bottles, and it has been used to this day. The net content of a bottle of Bordeaux red wine is 750ml . The net content of many red wines is 750ml , and they are all designed to imitate the Bordeaux red wine bottle.

In addition to the usual 750ml standard bottle, there are also 375ml wine bottles, 500ml Tokaj bottles, and many 1L , 3L , 6L , 9L large wine bottles on the market. There is also 187ml , also known as 1/4 bottle. Because the size of this kind of wine is too small, it can only be sealed with a metal rotary cap. It is portable and easy to carry, and is also liked by many wine lovers. For example, Leisheng 211 dry red wine, from Chile, is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It has a classic taste, a small and stylish appearance, and the bottle size is 187ml .
