Priced at the rate equivalent to 75p per bottle these are full size (75cl) glass wine bottles.
An excellent medium in which to store your wine & allow it to mature & develop.
With the administration of a sterilant they are reusable.
They are about 300mm tall and they accept standard size wine corks which with the use of shrink wrap will minimise exposure to the air.
