Did you know that?

In the 18th century, the first bottle factory in Bordeaux was built by an Irishman, Pierre Mitchell. He “imported” an English process using coal.
He settled in the Chartrons district, where all the big merchants had their cellars.
He made all sorts of bottles and invented the bordelaise and the jeroboam, which contains 5 litres in Bordeaux whereas it only holds 3 in Champagne or Burgundy.
