Unusual wine bottle on display at Café Amore, Cypress (Houston) Texas.
Three liter hand-crafted crystal bottle of 1999 Super Toscani IGT wine, about three feet tall. Here’s a close-up of the label.

Very cool shape.
Homework for tonight: describe an equation approximating the shape of the bottle.
Extra credit: translate to spherical polar coordinates.
Friday quiz: drink the whole bottle.

Looks like a ‘yard of wine’ instead of ale.
Would be fun for a Cartesian diver if you can see through the glass.
Geeze if it’s clear at all I have to get one for an impossible object.
I only went there just after it opened, before he changed anything except the special.

Some more odd bottles — these ones are one-sided.

Woah! That’s a tall wine bottle.
I need to get a pic, but my Mom has a huge bottle that spirals upward…Not sure of the origin or type, but it has to be about a gallon of vino.
I will get a pic ASAP and post it to here.

Hi can anyone tell me how/where could I find this wine, I bought an empty bottle a few years ago at a public market and haven’t been able to find a replacement.
