The Best Glass Juice Bottles

It's undeniable that drinking fresh cold-pressed juice from a glass bottle tastes better than from a plastic bottle. Why, exactly? It might be mostly a perceived quality difference more than anything else, but there are some actual real advantages to glass, mainly:

1. Glass bottles are fully reusable, meaning they never even have to end up in a recycling bin or garbage can.
2. Glass is insulating. A cold glass bottle of juice will stay cold longer than a plastic bottle. You can even chill the glass bottle before filling to help keep the juice temperature low, which will increase shelf life and color vibrancy.

What to look for when shopping for a premium glass juice bottles:

1. Wide mouth. You want your juice bottle easy to fill and most importantly, easy to clean.
2. Heavy duty. Some glass bottles are made heavier than others. For that reason, the old school "milk bottle" style bottles are great because they were designed to be used many times by the milk customer.
3. Reusable. Glass bottles are quite pricey, but purchased at wholesale quantities the price comes down a lot. Then when you factor in customers returning them for multiple uses, the price starts to come down even more, sometimes even approaching the cost of single use bottles.

I've used probably 25 different glass bottles, and the best bottles I've found for cold-pressed juice are the 12 or 16 oz milk bottle style sold by Stanpac. Note: They are very expensive buying in small quantities. Reach out to them about custom quotes for larger wholesale quantities.
