Do heavier bottles mean better wine?

Do heavier bottles mean better wine?

Q I have no idea why, but if I buy a more expensive wine it usually tends to have a longer real cork, and the glass of the bottle is much heavier. Is this a cost thing or does it improve the wine?

One of things I enjoyed most on our recent trip to Ireland* was the seafood. The fish shop in Midleton, Co. Cork had a fantastic array of locally caught lobster, crab and prawns at very reasonable prices. They tasted great too - really fresh and sweet.
