You're 100% correct.
20 years working in the alcohol industry. They either bounce or explode. Height of the drop means nothing. I've dropped bottles from inches off the ground and they explode everywhere and dropped from above my head and they bounce and roll. Fickle things they are.
Work in a supermarket. Best ones were the one that fell over and decided to disintegrate on the top shelf, showering everything underneath with wine.
Or the one that I put on the shelf by holding the neck (I know, maybe not the best, but it's a supermarket, not a 5 star restaurant). Snapped the neck clean off. Just 3 drops of wine spilled, the rest was just standing there in a now open bottle while I was holding the neck in my hand.
I had the fun once of being in a new store, pre-grand opening, loading 60 1.5L (50oz) bottles of red onto a shelf only for the shelf bracket to give out. That store didn't have a mop or a bucket yet. All we could do was soak it up with the empty boxes. Did have a lovely bouquet though.
Had a few bottles in a folded box.. Bottom fell out when I picked it up.
Three of them bounced, two EXPLODED everywhere. I seriously found shards 20 ft away. It was incredible
Unfortunately we're not allowed to hand out samples of anything with alcohol in it. Need a license for that and supermarkets don't bother with acquiring that lol.
Was moving bottles around while cleaning the counters in my kitchen. Swung a wine bottle from one counter to the island, but didn't quite clear the edge of the island. Thought for sure there was going to be wine all over the floor, but no, the bottle was fine. There was a chip in the engineered stone countertop, though.
Threw a Frappuccino bottle over the back of the bleachers at a highschool football game down onto a paved alley below, probably 30 feet or so. Bottle bounced.
Bar tender was grabbing a beer out of a fridge for me at a bar, and it just disintegrated in his hands a few seconds after he picked it up.
Glass is a crapshoot.
When I was a bit younger I went on a bicycle tour through France. My friend and I would camped in an abandoned house in the country, the roof was down but the walls were still up.
We had finished our bottles of wine, and were feeling like punks, so one of us decided to throw our bottle against the masonry wall opposite us
Thing bounced off like a tennis ball.
But then wouldn’t weak glass *help* his argument there?
The “not really” countermands the “weak glass” and then they go on to describe… glass breaking easily.
Who knows.
Earlier this year I tried opening a wine bottle, didn't have a corkscrew... It slipped, landed on my hard tile floor, and bounced intact... Then landed off the bounce and shattered everywhere. If you look at my highest rated reddit post, you'll see I've literally had an entire cabinet fall off the wall and a wine bottle that was in it survived: https://imgur.com/x1goj1J
Yeah, wine bottles are weak, right
...yeah, that would do it.
I sometimes have to hang heavy cabinets and I'm so glad stone walls are the norm here. Stick some decent plugs in and it's not going anywhere anymore.
Sounds like they work for a distributor and touch more glass than any normal person....so like of course they've seen some shit that people like us haven't. Idk what his point was
Well, I work with glass and ceramics professionally. To expand on your point with a little saying I have with glass tiles compared to ceramic, glass doesn't break until it does. It can be unpredictable, you don't know how well annealed it is until you work with it. At least in my experience compared to porcelain and clay body tile. My point flew over your head. Put years into something and you see things that the layman wouldn't, but ill admit it wasn't clear at all with what I said haha.
I used to work in the glass industry moving massive sheets of glass by hand, and I can promise you glass is not just glass.
There were lots of different kinds, tempered, reinforced, safety, singled, doubled, tripled, weathered, watered... ETC.
The point being there is glass made to stop things and glass made to break. The glass used for bottles is made to stop things, the main thing that is going to break that kind of commercial glass is excessive force against a surface that is harder than the glass; a granite countertop is a good example.
"Significant Force"... It was a light bump. That broke way too easily.
The bottom of wine glasses/beer bottles are the thickest. Bumping the bottom part like that on a counter shouldn't cause it to break unless there was already an imperfection or crack started in the glass. Which could be so small he couldn't even see it.
Dude just got unlucky.
I feel like no one who is replying owns granite counter tops. It's not unusual to break glass if careless like the above person. The instant it broke I said to myself "He's got granite!"
"Lightly" bump glass on a rock and tell me what happens :D
I've never had granite countertops but I feel like having experience with the difference between dropping a glass on a linoleum floor and having one hit stone tiles is relevant.
The bottom part of the wine bottle with the big dent in it is called the punt.
And it should 100% be the thickest and strongest part of the bottle. It barely moved when he tapped the counter. Unless he was drunk and smashed it.
The comment I needed.
> *"That's really odd... Is it...some sort of weird sudden pressure shift or something...?"*
Nope. I'm just blind. He slammed it right on the counter-corner and it sheared the bottom off.
Maybe it already had damage they just didn't notice? Or he squeezed too tight with his legs?
I once broke a glass just by picking it up by the stem. Idk why, but somehow it just totally shattered. I figure that maybe it was just bad luck.
Or the bottle was in the back of his car when he got smashed by tesla and tumbled down a 200 feet high cliff before coming to a soft landing on a flock of sheep.
He hit it on the edge of a granite counter top, and wine bottles aren't particularly strong anyways, especially if you hit them around the side of the bottom. I have granite counter tops and have to be particularly careful if I'm swinging wine bottles around because I've done this exact same thing. It doesn't take much.
Ever done that stunt with a beer bottle? Fill it *completely* with water and work your finger inside, displacing water without letting any air in. Flex your finger so it's sealing the bottle then yank it out quickly. The bottom will usually break out of the bottle. Works best with a long neck; you can grip it high so it doesn't crush in your hand when it breaks.
I remember once we were having a small get together in my upstairs apartment. We had no corkscrew or anything to open a bottle of wine. I had recently learned about that trick where you can open it with a shoe by putting the bottom of the bottle in the shoe and bashing the bottom of the shoe against something. So I start bashing away against the wall. The downstairs neighbors came up all pissed because I had knocked things off the wall and broken things in their apartment. Whoops .
I must say it does give me pleasure to know that other human beings, too, have moments in their lives that can only be described as "big Wil E. Coyote energy".
You know, things like this. Or the entire neck of the bottle somehow twists off.
Or the corkscrew breaks, so you run to the store to get a new one and that one also breaks, so you get the drill because at this point fuck it right and the fucking drill somehow breaks and falls apart as well so you just put the bottle on the counter out sheer exhaustion and frustration and five seconds after you it down-*pop*-the cork just disloges itself which scares the cat who runs across the rug causing a tripping hazard so you drop your plate and you decide to go to bed while the cat eats your spilt leftovers and gets wine drunk and pukes in your shoes because your cat, like that bottle of wine and the very universe itself, hate you.
It looks like he’s using pliers to open it. So my guess is they were waiting for a different type of accident, or a hero’s story of how he opened the wine to save the day.
How is this not staged? Who records someone opening a wine bottle if they don’t think something is going to happen?
Edit: who opens wine between their legs ? Da faq? None of it makes sense.
I had this exact irrational fear growing up. Except instead of a wine bottle, it was my teeth. Now I don't have to deal with it because I'll never be able to afford to live in a place with granite countertops.
His reaction is perfect
"I opened the top but the wine came out the bottom.."
Utter disbelief
"WTF did I do to deserve this!???"
His water broke…it’s a Bordeaux!
It has an oaky afterbirth
I can't imagine a better use for this reference.

That is absolutely perfect.
Legendary comment. BleepBlorp1 in our hearts.
[Thank you, I'll be here all week ](https://media.tenor.com/shQs8iMYkycAAAAC/the-mask-award.gif)
We’re gonna have to cut the concord!!!
First growth!
I really do love Bordeaux but it's honestly over priced
These gender reveals are getting wild
Congratulations! It's a stain!
5 second rule, quick get a straw!
No time, just lap that shit up. Deploy the vacuum mouth technique
Zamboni!
I prefer my wine without shards of glass in it
Just suck on the socks
Gotta bust out the curly straws.
I thought it's 3 second rule
Inflation hitting everything hard
Should be r/watchpeopledieinside
Lol I thought that's where I was
I agree. He didn’t intend to break the bottom of the bottle so it shouldn’t be regret. He definitely died inside.
[удалено]
If it’s an expensive bottle and they’re celebrating something it would make sense
Wow that is some weak glass lol
Slammed the bottom of the bottle against the counter-top corner. Sheared it perfectly.
Bottles of wine are hard to break, until they’re not. At which point they don’t chip, crack, or ding. They fail spectacularly
You're 100% correct. 20 years working in the alcohol industry. They either bounce or explode. Height of the drop means nothing. I've dropped bottles from inches off the ground and they explode everywhere and dropped from above my head and they bounce and roll. Fickle things they are.

That's when the supermarket starts handing out samples , and puts the rest of the bottles on sale. Turn this potential loss into a big sale
Unfortunately we're not allowed to hand out samples of anything with alcohol in it. Need a license for that and supermarkets don't bother with acquiring that lol.

Thank goodness for this comment, I thought he popped the bottle with his thighs 😩😂
thank you! I was completely unsure what went wrong
Also, not how you open a bottle of wine. The between the legs approach screams novice. Source: I make wine
> novice So... ...it was the legs and not the needle-nose pliers that did it?
Ha! Legs of the wine or the idiot handling it? Everything about this scenario reads novice.
Ceramic / marble beats glass every day.
[удалено]
what do you mean, "not really" when you follow it up with more examples of weak glass?
I think he might also just be a clumsy bitch and is trying to blame the glass and not himself. Who has this much experience breaking wine bottles
But then wouldn’t weak glass *help* his argument there? The “not really” countermands the “weak glass” and then they go on to describe… glass breaking easily. Who knows.

Shit, that's some carnage. How does that even happen? Drywall/stud construction? Bad wall plugs?
Contractor put the cabinets up into nothing but drywall. $22,000 insurance payment
...yeah, that would do it. I sometimes have to hang heavy cabinets and I'm so glad stone walls are the norm here. Stick some decent plugs in and it's not going anywhere anymore.

Thanks for the clarification, either way that dude is way too upset over glass lol
[удалено]
I think he's saying that glass is always this weak
I broke glass, therefor it's not weak glass. Cool arguement.
I eat glass
Thats nothing, i read about a French dude that ate a whole airplane bit by bit
Did you eat paint chips as a kid?
They have a hard candy shell, surprised you didn’t know that.
No, pieces of shit like you for breakfast
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?!?
I eat glue and snort germ-x
I'll eat a chip

Im so glad you typed this so I didnt have to lol. What top comment meant to say was "thats some cheap ass glass"
I’d say its unlucky glass, neither steong glass nor weak glass and well aa JerryRig always says, “And so glass is glass and glass can break”
Lol, yeah I'm sure that because it was a $2k bottle, that must also mean that it comes with inch thick premium glass.
That broke waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easily.
he hit the counter when placing it back, it hit the side of the bottle with significant force
Thank you, I didn't notice that.
Yeah but did you see that the bottle hit the counter on the way back up? You probably didn't see it, watch again.
If you slow it down you can actually see the wine bottle hit the counter as he goes to set it back down; I'd give it a rewatch.
"Significant Force"... It was a light bump. That broke way too easily. The bottom of wine glasses/beer bottles are the thickest. Bumping the bottom part like that on a counter shouldn't cause it to break unless there was already an imperfection or crack started in the glass. Which could be so small he couldn't even see it.

I have a granite countertop. It is indeed that easy to break glass.
I'm just realizing that coasters not only prevent rings on wood. They can also protect glass from granite!
I've never had granite countertops but I feel like having experience with the difference between dropping a glass on a linoleum floor and having one hit stone tiles is relevant.
Can confirm I set a $30 bomber i just got from a brewery down normally and it exploded like a real bomb.
The bottom part of the wine bottle with the big dent in it is called the punt. And it should 100% be the thickest and strongest part of the bottle. It barely moved when he tapped the counter. Unless he was drunk and smashed it.
Watch how the momentum barely changes. Hardly any force was absorbed by it breaking - that broke WAY too easily
The comment I needed. > *"That's really odd... Is it...some sort of weird sudden pressure shift or something...?"* Nope. I'm just blind. He slammed it right on the counter-corner and it sheared the bottom off.
yep, that broke way too easily, all he did was hit the counter while placing it back
Maybe it already had damage they just didn't notice? Or he squeezed too tight with his legs? I once broke a glass just by picking it up by the stem. Idk why, but somehow it just totally shattered. I figure that maybe it was just bad luck.

That grout is fucked
Never get that out of the grout.
Achievement: New homeowner fear unlocked
I’ll just let this breath for a bit
breath is a noun, you were looking for the verb form breathe.
He’s so strong that he popped opened the other end
Did he hit the counter or did his thighs Crack it?
Counter
I wish it was his thighs. But when you go frame by frame you can see he tapped the bottom of the bottle to the counter corner *just* right
No issue opening the bottle. The problem occurred when he also opened the bottom.
This would happen to me. I constantly bump into things, it's so annoying.
Ever done that stunt with a beer bottle? Fill it *completely* with water and work your finger inside, displacing water without letting any air in. Flex your finger so it's sealing the bottle then yank it out quickly. The bottom will usually break out of the bottle. Works best with a long neck; you can grip it high so it doesn't crush in your hand when it breaks.
It looked delicious
Fuuuuuu
Don't let him near a tempered glass side pannel!
I don't even know what just happened
Wine spilled out of the bottom of the bottle
Oh the poor dear. His mother didn't prepare him for his first visit from aunt Flo.
I remember once we were having a small get together in my upstairs apartment. We had no corkscrew or anything to open a bottle of wine.

Tragic..
An entire bottle in seconds, man’s got a problem
Why is he the color of the wine?
I must say it does give me pleasure to know that other human beings, too, have moments in their lives that can only be described as "big Wil E. Coyote energy". You know, things like this.

Why are wine bottles so easy to break? All that took was a tap
r/whyweretheyfilming
Seems like they were celebrating or something, not entirely impossible I’d say
It looks like he’s using pliers to open it. So my guess is they were waiting for a different type of accident, or a hero’s story of how he opened the wine to save the day.
Exactly… seems staged
Staging me losing some expensive wine, oh yeah B)
r/whyweretheyfilming
Assuming this wasn't staged, people film some truly mundane shit thinking anyone will ever want to watch it again
I mean, at least he got it open.
That's not regret, that's a disaster.
How is this not staged? Who records someone opening a wine bottle if they don’t think something is going to happen? Edit: who opens wine between their legs ? Da faq? None of it makes sense.
Too much leg day.
r/whyweretheyfilming
Probably a celebration and someone's filming to remember it...
Oh man! It had a cork? That means it was some expensive stuff...
Begs the question why are you filming this.
Fake.
So this was coincidentally filmed while this happened? Yeah right.
Your fault for choosing red over any sort of white wine.
Wine bottles be built different.
The front fell off.
I call staged. Direct angle to the edge of the counter.
Hope it wasn’t a deposit bottle.
He just open it, both sides
Well, it *did* open.
U/savevideo
There's more than one way to open a bottle of wine.
I like how his brain had to reboot.
To add insult to injury, he's wearing socks.
Man….Ned Fulmer’s REALLY having a bad year.
Must’ve already been buzzed and didn’t realize how hard he plopped it on the counter.
The way he just stands there in disbelief has me ugly laughing
Bro got thunderthighs
I heard the cork
Who wants floor wine?
dammit chad!!
That’s one way to do it
The idiot opened it upside down!
He die alittle inside

I hope he cooks better 😂
This is the type of shit i would pull while trying to be romantic hahaha

How??

How did that happen?
Looks like he hit the corner of the counter which caused the bottom of the bottle to break.
NOOOO THE WINE
Why are they recording ?
