Marc - if Sauvignon Blanc is the white version of cab sauv, why is it in chard bottles rather than cab bottles? does it matter?

[@wine-living]

Hi Mary, the bottles are actually a hybrid of Bordeaux and Burgundy shaped-bottles. Bordeaux bottles have the round shoulders and Bordeaux have those sharp angled shoulders. In a region of the country (Loire) that doesn't really have it's own style, they just borrow from the other regions. And no, it doesn't really matter. It's more a stylistic choice by the winery.
