Floor mats for cellar

But wait - that was a Burgundy style bottle. Wouldn't the higher shoulder on a Bordeaux style bottle change the center of gravity and produce a markedly different result? I suppose you'd also have to duplicate the angle of tilt off the vertical to quantify the results appropriately. Perhaps one would have to design a jig that would hold each bottle at the identical angle and height for each trial. A simple release mechanism would ensure each bottle was let go in in the exact same manner so the impact velocities would be as identical as possible taking into account any weight variations of the bottles. I suppose the differences in wind resistance due to the shape variance would be unavoidable but hopefully they would be insignificant to the trials. Boggles the mind.
