A bottle is a narrow-necked container made of an impermeable material in a variety of shapes and sizes for storing and transporting liquids (water, milk, beer, wine, ink, cooking oil, medicine, soft drinks, shampoo, and chemicals, among others) and whose mouth at the bottling line can be sealed with an internal stopper, an external bottle cap, a closure, or a conductive “inner seal” using induction sealing. China, Phoenicia, Crete, and Rome were among the first places to produce bottles.

The glass bottle was a significant breakthrough in the history of wine since it allowed for long-term maturation of wine when paired with a high-quality stopper such as a cork. Glass possesses all of the characteristics necessary for long-term storage. It eventually led to “château bottling,” the technique of putting a bottle of wine in a bottle at the source rather than by a merchant. Wine was previously sold by the barrel (and before that, by the amphora) and only placed into bottles at the merchant’s shop, if at all. As consumers had to trust the merchant with the contents, this created substantial and often exploited chances for fraud and adulteration. Most wine drunk outside of wine-producing countries is assumed to have been tampered with in some fashion. Furthermore, not all merchants took precautions to minimize oxidation or contamination during bottling, resulting in significant bottle variance. Even now, select scrupulous merchants’ bottling of antique ports fetches greater prices, particularly in the case of port. To prevent these issues, most great wines are bottled on the premises where they are made (including all port, since 1974).

Hiram Codd of Camberwell, London, invented and patented a bottle exclusively for carbonated drinks in 1872. The Codd-neck bottle was created with a marble and a rubber washer/gasket encased in the neck. The bottles were filled upside down, and the pressure in the bottle pressed the marble against the washer, sealing in the carbonation. The bottle was squeezed into a unique form, as shown in the photo on the left, to create a chamber into which the marble could be put to open it. This kept the stone from becoming stuck in the drink’s neck as it was being poured.

The bottle quickly gained popularity in the soft drink and brewing sectors, primarily in Europe, Asia, and Australasia, despite the fact that some alcoholics objected to its usage. The name codswallop has an etymology that comes from beer sold in Codd bottles, however this is largely rejected as a folk etymology.

The bottles were made on a regular basis for decades, but their popularity waned with time. Since youngsters destroyed the bottles to get the marbles, they’ve become rare and valuable collectibles, especially in the United Kingdom. At auction today, a cobalt-colored Codd bottle costs hundreds of pounds. Ramune, a Japanese soft drink, and Banta, an Indian beverage, both employ the Codd-neck shape.
