Bottle variation

Bottle variation is the degree to which different bottles, nominally of the same product, can have different taste, smell, etc. There are many possible causes of bottle variation: variation in the contents prior to packaging variation in the packaging components variation in the product and packaging processes variation in storage, distribution, cold chain, etc. variation in the quantity of contents Wine Different bottles, nominally of the same wine, can taste and smell different. One factor is found in the variable oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of cork stoppers, which translates to a degree of bottle variation.
