A History Of The Glass Wine Bottle

Glass has been around a long time. Naturally occurring obsidian glass has been used in human tools since the Stone Age. The first true glass was produced around 3,000 BC in Northern Syria. In South Asia, glasswork was used beginning around 1730 BC.

The ancient Romans were particularly well-known for their glasswork, which was used both domestically and industrially. They developed the technique of glassblowing, which was used to make wine bottles. It’s no surprise, then, that the term 'glass' was first used by the Romans.
