what is the length of a typical bottle of wine?

Answer 1

1 foot
Metric (30cm/ 300mm)
This is the ORIGINAL intended size

Answer 2

The length of a bottle depends entirely on the producer, with 3 notable exceptions: The 3 standardised bottle-types are the bordelaise, 30cm (most common shape, as used for Bordeaux red wines), the bourguignon 29.5cm (the more curvy shape used for Burgundy reds or Chablis for example) and the Alsacien, 32cm (the long thin one used for Alsace wine). Most other bottles will vary in length according to the winemaker or bottle-manufacturer's specifications.

There are larger formats of bottles (please see my other answers for details) but also some wines produced certain regions around the world must conform to certain bottle shapes to signify a specific Appelation.

Actual measurement or length of time it takes to drink it? Either way actual length of the bottle depends on what size you get. The most common bottle size length is 11.5 inches. Length of time it takes to drink the bottle of wine if drinking alone, about an hour. Length of time with a friend about 20 min.

Answer 4

Being a wino, I can answer this regardless of what you meant:

Physical Length: 298mm

Length of time to drink: 4 glasses ? 30mins to 1 hour

Length of time it can be stored: 5-40 years depending on purity. Its rare a typical cheap wine lasts longer than this.
