Ella Valley has tamed their bottles

We're now receiving recent vintages of Ella Valley Vineyards and it was refreshing to see that the new wines are coming in smaller and lighter bottles.
The first few vintages of Ella (2002-2003) came in the big, beefy, deep-punted, broad-shoulderd behemouths. I'm sure the lighter bottles save a lot of energy tranporting.
Question: Which Israeli wine do you think has the heaviest/largest bottle right now?

I'm gonna go with The Cave for starters.

Barkan Superieur is my pick. Wouldn't even need to own a gym membership if I had to lift those beastly bottles everyday.

yeah, the superieurs look like liter bottles

I also think that Yarden's bottles tend to be a bit heavy. Especially the Cabernet and Merlot. I wonder if the heavier bottle makes for better ageing?
