Thank you. I was in a quandary when it came to choosing an answer. I see that there are many "yes"-s to your answer, and I believe that the person in question wants a more common usage of the word. Thanks again.

agree  Katalin Sandor: This is more "correct" (wine professionals would never refer to the bottle as 'üveg'), while shoppers for wine would definitely ask for an 'üveg'.
