These are vintage wines which will live in their bottles for anything from between 5 and upwards of 50 years. Wines like the Grand Crus of Bordeaux which are predominantly red, the great whites (and reds) of Burgundy, Champagne, the reds of Rioja Reserva and Gran Reserva, the great red wines of Tuscany, and the humungous Cabernets and Merlots of California. Great wines that are always aged for long periods are stored in green or brown glass to limit the damage caused by light over time. I'm a designer specialising in wine packaging and I can say that, with the exception of 'great' wines, most decisions about glass are made on purely aesthetic or economic grounds.
