A plastic bottle with a base centered on a vertical axis, a continuous standing ring to support the bottle, a side wall formed unitarily with the base extending from the base upward to an upper side wall end, and a neck connected to the side wall upper end, the neck including a finish adapted to receive a cap to close an opening into the bottle interior. The bottle base standing ring is defined in vertical cross-section by a continuous curve bounded on a radial inside by an interior region that can include a plurality of concave domed wedge-shaped sections interspaced with buttress sections having substantially planar inclined outer portions. The bottle base standing ring has a diameter less than 80% of the maximum side wall width and is bounded on a radial outside by a conic section portion centered on the vertical axis having an apex angle of less than 1600 to improve the perpendicularity of the bottle.
