Bottle Sizes

Decades ago, nearly every California winery utilized standard bottle sizes. Most of these bottles weighed less than 3 pounds once they were filled. Consequently, a standard case of wine, consisting of 12 bottles, weighed less than 35 pounds. These measurements represent the historical norms for bottling and packaging within the California wine industry during that period, ensuring consistency in weight and size across the various wineries operating in the region at that time.
