a protruding annular collar on the outer surface of the tubular wall in a position adjacent to the mouth, with said annular collar being provided with an outer collar face confined between two annular collar projections; wherein said tubular wall defines a collar segment (A), a transition segment (B), and a wide segment (C) successive to and aligned with one another and with their respective inner conduits being connected to one another, the collar segment (A) includes the annular collar and the mouth, with the thickness of the annular collar being added to the thickness of the tubular wall in at least part of said collar segment (A); the outer wall face of the wide segment (C) is flush with the outer collar face, and the inner conduit thereof has a cross section having a larger size than the cross section of the inner conduit of the collar segment (A); and the transition segment (B) links the collar segment (A) and the wide segment (C), the inner conduit thereof comprises successive cross sections having an increasing size connecting the inner conduits of the collar segment (A) and the wide segment (C), and the outer wall face thereof has at least two successive cross sections having a different size, connecting the outer wall faces of the collar segment (A) and the wide segment (C), defining an annular outer recess between the collar and the wide segment (C). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein the length of the tubular wall covered by the annular collar is greater than the length of the tubular wall on which the annular outer recess is defined. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein the annular outer recess has a width equal to or less than 5 mm and/or wherein the width of the annular outer recess is equal to or less than its depth. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1 wherein the mentioned annular outer recess is confined between one of the annular collar projections and an annular wall projection, facing said annular collar projection, with the annular wall projection being defined by an abrupt change in size between two successive cross sections of the outer wall face of the transition segment (B). ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein in said collar segment (A) the thickness of the annular collar is added to the thickness of the tubular wall in at least the largest part of said collar segment (A). ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein in said collar segment (A) the thickness of the annular collar is added to the thickness of the tubular wall in the entire collar segment (A), with an annular collar projection being flush with the mouth. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein the thickness of the tubular wall of the wide segment (C) is comprised between 80% and 120% of the thickness of the tubular wall of the annular outer recess of the transition segment (B). ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein the inner conduit of the collar segment (A) contains a cork or plastic stopper tightly fitted therein and wherein a capsule externally and tightly covers at least the mouth, the collar segment (A), and the transition segment (B). ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 8, wherein said capsule has a portion at least partially inserted in said annular outer recess. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the following elements has a cylindrical geometry: the inner conduit of the collar segment (A) and/or of the wide segment (C), and/or the outer wall face of the collar segment (A) and/or of the wide segment (C), and/or the outer collar face. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein at least part of the outer collar face and/or at least part of the outer wall face of the wide segment (C) are printed, silk-screened, or engraved, or labeled with an adhesive label, or wherein both faces are printed, silk-screened, or engraved, or labeled with an adhesive label, with a continuous motif at least partially covering both faces. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein the transition segment (B) includes a recess portion (B1) adjacent to the collar segment (A) including the annular outer recess, and a wide portion (B2) adjacent to the wide segment (C), said wide portion (B2) including protrusions projecting from the outer wall face thereof defining at least one screw thread for screwing on a complementary cap. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 12, wherein the wide segment (C) connects with bottle shoulders and has a length equal to or less than 5 mm. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 12, wherein a screw cap is screwed onto said at least one screw thread, said complementary cap including an annular outer face coplanar with the annular outer face of the body of the bottle which defines the maximum envelopment of the bottle. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The tubular glass bottle neck according to claim 1, wherein a ring made of an elastic material is inserted in the annular outer recess for fixing accessories to the neck of the bottle.
