Drink These Facts: Quick Trivia About Your Favorite Liquor Bottles

Ways Alcohol Brands Have Approached Sustainability

We decided to dig into a little bottle history and boy, it’s mind-blowing! Here we go:

Beer: Doesn’t the bottle look like a slender, fashionable, yet naive partner of your dreams? The secret behind the universal cylindrical shape was to ensure strength because our dear friend beer is super carbonated.

 

Wine: The wine bottle is the crush you knew from summer camp. Unattractive, to moderately pretty, to ‘hell no!’ From fat-ass ugly bottles to bottles that would flirt with a drinker’s imagination, these babies have come a long way from 1600’s.

Malt Whiskey: Some are fancy, some are just, well…plain but good! The history behind the Malt Whiskey bottle is purely utilitarian. Malt Whiskey was widely claimed by purveyors to be of high medicinal value and the bottles resonate just that. It looks like an old uncle who knows his shit. Direct, ruthless but efficient.

 

 

Bourbon: The pretentious as shit drink consumed by Vampires in a lot of lame TV soap crap! But, you gotta agree that the Eagle Rare bottle is prettier than you will ever be. The shape again speaks of how alcohol was primarily meant for internal consumption, aka medicinal usage. Isn’t it like your crush? Fancy, elite, pretty, and probably, way out of your league!

 

Champagne: ‘My bottle the strongest’ – Champagne screams that! The circular shape of the bottle ensures maximum strength. The producers just went for olive green, aqua and amber with no particular reason, but hey, we aren’t complaining! A bottle of champagne is the chief guest of a party. All dolled up, sparkling, shows up and goes away in minutes!
