wine bottles

Cork-sealed glass vessels

Wine bottles are glass containers designed to hold wine, typically 750 milliliters (a "fifth").

The plural often refers to empties: Wine bottles lined the recycling bin.

Wine bottles vary in shape by region—Bordeaux bottles have straight sides, Burgundy bottles slope at the shoulder.

The phrase can emphasize quantity consumed: Three wine bottles later, we were still talking.
