Sorry Joe, I didn't realize. Here's a few quotes:
"Chianti Classico producer Il Borghettos fetish for Burgundian bottles has fallen foul of the Chianti Classico Consorzio. Tim Manning, winemaker of Il Borghetto, ...discovered recently that the regulations regarding bottle shape can change rather quickly and, in doing so, restrict him from continuing to fill the estates Chianti Classico in ... Burgundian bottles"
"...bureaucrats too, who have only recently started to change the rules, specifying the exact bottle shape Chianti Classico should be seen in. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it stipulates the use of Bordeaux bottles only, a decision which is soon to become legally binding.
The apparent haste to get the legislation through after more than half a century of silence on the subject seems curious..."

Send the bottle police to California - far worse things going on there.

My sympathies. I agree about those "vanity" bottles: they don't fit in much of my racking and they're just too damn big for their own good. But you can now find them in Europe, too, if you know where to look.
