A punt is the dent under a wine bottles. There's consensus to its purpose but there's plenty of perspectives including: the bigger the punt, the better the wine (not true), servers pouring wine can handle the bottle easier, to make the bottle more stable, to collect sediment from unfiltered wines, manufacturing reasons and a bunch more random reasons. Again, there's no confirmed reason but its part of the traditional shape to a wine bottle that has been part of its construction since glass bottles were used.
