About this deal

Q&A with Jancis Robinson OBE MW, about JancisRobinson.com sponsoring the WSET Outstanding Alumni Award. - 15 November 2016 Wouldn't use any other company now, great price, great service, would recommend this company to all :)

Fantastic jars. Prompt delivery even over Easter bank holiday. Will be buying plenty more. Thank-you. When it comes to melting glass, it is not all about the temperature; the luminosity of the flame is also very important. ‘It is how the energy is transferred,’ says Richards. ‘At the moment glass is manufactured in gas-fired furnaces. The glass is in the bottom like a bath, and the flame comes over the top. The heat is transferred into that liquid bath of glass by infra-red radiation. It is in there for a while for everything to mix properly. If you look at other fuels such as hydrogen, then you are interested in how the flame transfers that energy into the glass as well as the heat. With electricity, electrodes are put in the bottom: electric melting is a possibility, but there are issues scaling up. Partial electric melting in combination with other fuels is growing. Apart from the technology, the other main barrier is the cost. It wouldn’t make any sense right now, but when the grid decarbonises (it will be carbon negative by the early 2030s) it might.’ Glass bottles are so ubiquitous that we tend to just take glass, with its remarkable wine preserving properties, for granted. But without it, we wouldn’t have wine as we know it today.Q&A with Lendl Mijnhijmer, WSET Level 4 Diploma graduate and winner of the WSET McNie Tasting Trophy 2015 - 8 June 2016 It’s made by melting silica (sand) together with other ingredients, and these are crucial in determining the properties of the glass. Most glass bottles and jars are made from soda-lime glass. If you were to make a bottle from scratch, the typical ingredients would be the following. Breaking the bias: on industry initiatives, building communities and figures of inspiration, WSET interviews industry leaders on International Women’s Day 2022 - 8 March 2022 Also known as a Germanic bottle, this bottle is taller and thinner than other types, with gently sloping shoulders. The main grape contained in Alsace bottles is Riesling. Bottles holding French Riesling are often brown, while the ones used for German Riesling are more often green. Bordeaux bottle Always top quality service - friendly, excellent communication, informative and very efficient. The products and prices are very good too :)

While there are thousands of grape varieties and dozens of wine glass styles to suit different types of wine, there are only a few standard wine bottle shapes and sizes.cl (750 ml) Standard wine bottle: the bottle that you will most commonly find on the shelves of your local wine retailer

Is there an excess inventory of green glass in the UK? ‘Yes, we import a lot of green glass and we manufacture more flint (clear) glass,’ says Richards. ‘We make a fair amount of green glass, but there is an imbalance. The excess green glass that is collected in the UK is exported to glass manufacturers elsewhere, who have the reverse imbalance.’The carbon footprint of recycling is an issue. ‘There has been a 50% cut in the energy requirement over the last 40 years,’ explains Richards. ‘But it is an ongoing journey. The glass sector signed up to the UK Government’s 2012 roadmap for carbon reduction, and participated in an action plan. We are now drawing up a net zero plan for the UK glass sector. We are involved with an organization called Glass Futures, looking at decarbonization options. There are some issues in switching fuels, but we can do it.’ On becoming the first WSET certified educator in Indonesia, WSET interviews Ni Nyoman Kertawidyawati - 3 February 2022 Knowing the basic shapes can be a useful clue to identifying the style of wine before even reading the label. Alsace bottle Our oil bottles department fits all requirements and within this section you will find our vintage oil bottle one of our most successful oil bottles. This has a very vintage look with its large cork or is now available with a choice of twist off lid or screw cap in a variety of colours.

There are twelve sizes of wine bottle, ranging from 18.7 cl (187 ml) to 18 litres - although EU legislation currently sets a cap at 10 litres for still wine and 9 litres for sparkling wine. Bottles up to 3 litres are simply named after their sizes, while larger bottles derive their names from biblical figures. The origin of this convention is uncertain.

litres Jéroboam: holds six standard bottles of still wine. For sparkling wine a Jéroboam usually has the capacity of a Double Magnum and a 4.5-litre bottle for champagne and sparkling wine is called Rehoboam. On becoming an award-winning sommelier, WSET catches up with Vincenzo Arnese DipWSET - 15 November 2022 litres Impériale: contains eight standard bottles of still wine. Its equivalent in sparkling wine is called Methuselah Fabulous company and products. Always happy to help and can be relied upon to deliver on every level on time. A punt adds to the cost of a bottle. It is cheaper to produce a bottle without the punt, as it requires less glass. However, a punt is no indicator of the quality of the wine, but rather the winemaker's visual preference.
