Before 1980, this type of bottle was one of the units based on the fifth (one-fifth of a gallon) that was authorized, the fifth being a common legal threshold for liquor sales in the U.S back then. While the fifth as a unit of volume was replaced by the metric bottle when the metric-standard bottle sizes were incorporated to Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations of the United States in 1979, the tenth bottle remains to this day.

With a volume of 378 ml, it is, as you can guess, on the smaller side. Because of this, cleaning it can become an arduous task. Wine producers know how important the proper washing of their bottles is and would never wish for the smallest of mistakes in the cleaning process to make their batches go to waste. Because of this, instead of hand-washing their bottles and misusing their time and money on an inefficient task, winemakers choose to buy new bottles every time.

Instead of spending money on bottles or on personnel for every new batch, consider paying only once for a bottle washer that will last you for years.
