Timeline: 1800 - 1930

Soon enough, wine makers began changing the form of the glass bottle and started to utilize the cork to seal these new bottles. This allowed for better storage and transportation. The storage allowed wine makers to age the wine in individual bottles rather than in large barrels, meaning that they cold cut their inventory and leave the storage up to the consumer and the merchants. This also benefited the trading of wine, since now, more than ever, wine could be easily traded across long distances for people around the world to enjoy. The spread of wine to new countries led to an increased market for wine, and led to the development of vineyards in new locations around the globe.
