Description
A punt makes it easier to hold a wine bottle – as well as pour from it – with one hand: If you grab your wine bottle from the bottom, it's no surprise that the punt is present, acting as a spot to place your thumb while the rest of your fingers grab the base of the bottle.
 
The deep indentation at the bottom (punt) does not mean a bottle can handle pressure. Bordeaux bottles have punts to collect sediment and aid pouring, not for structural pressurization. This bottle is NOT recommended for Champagne or Prosecco, this and all Standard Bordeaux bottles are designed for still wines and can typically hold only 1.5 to 2 bars (22 to 29 PSI) of internal pressure. True champagne and sparkling wines develop an intense internal pressure of 5 to 6 bars (73 to 87 PSI) at room temperature.
 
Using a standard wine bottle for a carbonated beverage creates a highly dangerous "glass bomb" that will violently shatter, risking severe injury.
 
With a flat- bottomed bottle, when the wine is poured, the sediment layer is easily disturbed and the poured wine ends up cloudy, spoiling its appearance and sometimes its taste. Having an indent in the bottom means that the sediment is deeper, with a smaller surface area, thus easier to avoid disturbing.
