What is a punt you might ask. Punt: The inverse indentation at the base of a wine bottle. Wine Punt: A wine bottle cut in half and used as a drinking glass
The "punt" of a bottle is the indentation at the base of the bottle. In the old days, when wine bottles were each made by hand, it’s very likely that the punt was a result of the glass making process - but of course experienced glass makers would have been able to "fix" this before the bottle was done, and flattened the punt. Why didn’t they? There are a variety of theories about why finished bottles had punts. It’s important to note that nobody knows for sure :). The explanations below are argued about endlessly at wine events.
Recycled wine bottle glasses, also know as a wine punt, is simply a wine bottle converted into a drinking glass. The punt in the bottom is what gives the name for these recycled wine bottle glasses.
