And why do wine and champagne bottles have those indentations in the bottom?
It’s not there so that the sommelier can get a better grip while they’re pouring, which is probably what you’ve always heard.
It’s actually there to compensate for the pressure that the contents of the bottle go through during the corking process. The sides and bottoms of bottles are weak spots, and the indentation helps evenly distribute the pressure inside the bottle. That’s why it’s so much deeper on champagne bottles, which are under much more pressure due to the carbonation.
Really!!
now that the pressure has equalized through the little hole, how is it that the outer window is not doing all the work?

"...so that the outer window doesn’t have to do all the work."

#21 how are you going to get one TicTac to dispence in that ring without spilling half the container?
#24 so why do so many wine bottles have flat bottoms? Why do you make this shit up?
