Ask Corksavvy

Does the indentation on the bottom of the bottle indicate how good the wine is by the depth of the indentation as a freind indicated the deeper the indent the better the wine?

The indentation found on the bottom of most wine bottles is called the punt. The size of the punt can vary widely.

Does red wine complement shellfish and other seafood?

Yes. Contrary to popular belief, white is not the only type of wine that brings out the best in seafood. Silky red wines, like a good Burgundy or Pinot Noir, compliment the silky texture of shellfish, and a ripe, juicy red, such as Beaujolais, won’t overwhelm delicately flavored fish. Try Joseph Drouhin Beaujolais Villages 2005 from France.
