Why are spirit bottles made of glass?

Glass bottles are the traditional packaging for spirits products. Glass is widely used and it is also a very historical packaging material. But glass spirit bottles are heavier than plastic bottles, and they are fragile. So why are most liquor bottles made of glass rather than plastic? We have summarized several reasons, let’s take a look.

Glass Bottles Can Keep Spirits Fresh Longer

Glass has advantages over other materials in many ways. It better protects the spirits’ quality and taste and increases the aesthetics and overall drinking experience. Plastic is not as impermeable as glass. It can impart various ‘flavors’ into the liquors. And glass is impermeable to CO2 and O2, so the liquors can be stored in the glass packaging for longer.

Glass Liquor Bottles Are Sustainable

Glass alcohol bottles are made from only three natural resources: soda ash, limestone, and sand. Obtaining these natural materials won’t release any toxic chemicals, or harm our environment. Even the production of spirits bottles has become more sustainable through advanced research and development techniques that reduce the amount of energy needed to produce glass bottles.

Empty Glass Spirit Bottles Are Recyclable

Glass bottles are 100% and endlessly recycled. As a matter of fact, when you throw the liquor bottle in the recycling bin, it only takes about 30 days for the glass bottle to go through the recycling process and end up back on your shelf as a new bottle. Since glass bottles are made of a single material, they can be easily recyclable without losing any mass. This means that even recycled glass can be recycled again, in an endless cycle in which we are constantly saving C02 emissions, water, and resources.

Glass Alcohol Bottles Are Easy To Clean

Glass liquor bottles are easy to clean and do not lose their clarity as plastic bottles do when washed or infused with fruit and herb mixtures. They can be sterilized in the dishwasher at high heat without worrying about them melting or degrading. Potential toxins are eliminated while maintaining the structure and integrity of the glass spirits bottles.

Glass Spirit Bottles Have a Premium feel

Aside from being impermeable, sustainable, and recyclable packaging, spirits lovers also appreciate the premium experience that glass bottles offer through their design, elegant feeling, and tradition. The spirit glass bottle’s unique design provides a sense of luxury that no other material can match. There is a special feeling when people start to open a new bottle of liquor. It's a feeling and aesthetic that no other package can mimic. We can see that glass spirit bottles can offer many benefits to your products and your customers, from design and aesthetics to health and sustainability.
