- Over lunch, a group of workmates got into a hot-and-heavy argument about wine
- bottles. Specifically, we were discussing the dimple in the glass at the base of
- a wine bottle. One person claimed that the dimple is put in to allow someone
- pouring the wine to tip the bottle using one finger while resting the neck of
- the bottle on one arm. Needless to say, most people scoffed at this suggestion,
- but this person was still adamant about his explanation. Still others claimed
- that the dimple was a product of the glass-blowing process for making the
- bottle. Can anyone help settle this argument?
