A vessel for wine which is under pressure includes a threaded neck, an elongated body, a tapered, and preferably rounded, bottom with thickened walls, the lower aspect of which has an opening which is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the bottle for receiving a holding member. The threaded neck engages a screw cap which has an opening at its apex. A sealing member, such as a cork is configured to fit within the opening of the neck, the latter having a circular opening surrounded by an inner recess in the mouth area and an outer rim. The cap engages the top of the sealing member and it has an opening which permits wine in the bottle to "breathe." A configuration of the vessel is such that it is normally rested on its side.
