I was in a cellar once with some really old wine and the necks of the bottles were drooping down the way. Any idea why that might be?

- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoI have seen that. I suspect it's from production. If so, why do people orient the droops downwards, becomes the question.
- adw 6y agoThe other orientation is much less stable; it’s a stationary point but if nudged will rotate away from droop-up. Similar reason old pre-float-glass windows are mostly found thick side down; easier to fit that way because they’re more stable. The myth that they flowed over time is just that. :-)
