Wine Hock
does the depth of the dimple on the bottom of a wine bottle reflect the quality of the wine?

is this a urban legend (hock has no dimple need i say more)

The chap on the website below conducted his own survey (it’s worth reading,quite amusing!), and proved that bottles less than £5 have shallow dimples and bottles above £5 have deep dimples. (urban legend proved to be 99.999% certain!). By the way, the real name for the ‘dimple’ is a punt.
