Sediment Trapping Bottle


Many red wines, as they age, produce sediment in the bottle. That’s why we decant them, leaving it behind. However, Spanish Chef, Martín Berasategui, has come up with a new bottle design that captures sediment in the bottle at the bottom. Its odd shape is pinched close to the base, adding a sediment capturing chamber. Many wineries using the bottles are abandoning the filtering process, claiming that the wine remains purer and filters naturally in the bottle. The Chef even claims that the bottle shape actually acts as a decanter, aerating the wine, as well. This bottle would certainly make the time-honoured tradition and ceremony of decanting defunct. Could revolutionize fine wine drinking!
