For the wines from the Burgundy region. The glas of the bottles is clear and with a little green color. Also used for the Beaujolais wines.

This Loire bottke is almost similar ro the Burgundy bottle a little bit smaller in shape. Its shape is in the form as a kind of flute.

A small and slender bottle for the Alsacian wines. Just like the Mozel bottles made from green glass.
