Abstract: An elongate wine bottle with an internal space for holding wine therein includes a hollow and cylindrical body with a closed bottom and a cylindrical neck extending to an open outer end of the wine bottle remote from the bottom. A thickness of a material from which the wine bottle is manufactured is the same over at least substantially the whole length of the wine bottle. The neck is provided along its outer surface with an external screw thread and only a single annular edge situated below the screw thread relative to the open outer end. A diameter of the circular cross-section of the body is at least substantially equal to a diameter of the circular cross-section of the neck such that the wine bottle has at least substantially one and the same bottle diameter along its whole length.
