Glass water bottles

The importance of drinking enough is not news. Good hydration is important for so many functions in our bodies! But how do you do it if you don’t normally think about having a drink during the day? One option is a designer glass water bottle. When you get yourself one you like, you’ll want to carry it around with you. And drink from it.

The look of your glass bottle is not the only advantage, however. Come and take a look at what makes them great, what types of glass drinks bottles there are, and how to choose the right one.

Glass water bottles: Why get one?

Seven reasons why to choose a glass bottle with a lid:

1. Sustainable material: Glass is 100% recyclable, and can be used repeatedly without any loss of quality or purity. If you’re environmentally conscious, a glass bottle helps you wear this on your sleeve.
2. A reduction in plastic waste: By choosing a glass bottle that you can reuse, you reduce the number of single-use plastic bottles that end up in landfill or the oceans.
3. Chemical-free: Glass does not contain (and therefore does not release into your drink) any harmful chemicals such as BPA or phthalates, which can be released from conventional disposable plastic bottles.
4. It does not absorb odours or taste: A glass bottle does not absorb odours or flavours. You can enjoy the taste of pure water even if you had iced tea or a pre-workout drink in your bottle the day before.
5. Maintains temperature: Glass bottles hold the temperature of the drink better, whether it’s cold or hot, which is practical for everyday use.
6. Easy cleaning: If you want, it is safe to wash your glass bottle in the dishwasher.
7. Durable: The borosilicate glass used to make the bottle will not break easily. Plus you can also get an accessory in the form of a protective sleeve to both increase the durability and keep your drink at the desired temperature for longer – so a glass water bottle with a sleeve is common.

How to choose the most suitable glass drinking bottle

First, answer the following three questions:

• Purpose: What will you use the bottle for most often? Are you looking for a glass sports bottle or a glass drinks bottle for school? For sports, work or for children? This will determine the type of closure, for example.
• Size: How much liquid do you usually need to have to hand and can you fit the bottle in your bag? You can find a 1-litre glass drinks bottle here, as well as a smaller 200-ml glass bottle – and various sizes in between.
• Design: What do you want your bottle to look like? Do you like pure classics or pictures and colours? How about a blue glass bottle?

Types of glass water bottles

Glass drinks bottles are available in many sizes, variants and designs. So you can choose one that suits your needs and preferences:

By size

• Small glass bottles up to 0.5 l: Ideal for children or for quick refreshment on the go. It can also be a great glass bottle for school.
• Medium (500 ml–1 l): Perfect for most people for everyday use. A 500-ml–750-ml glass bottle is enough for about 2 hours of office work or an hour’s walk.
• Large (1-l glass water bottle): Suitable for longer trips or sports where you need to carry more fluids.

By cap

• Screw cap: A traditional and reliable design that prevents fluid leakage. Glass bottles with screw caps are a popular choice.
• Cap with straw: A glass bottle with a straw is perfect for easy drinking while exercising or driving.
• Sports cap: Quick one-handed opening and closing, ideal for athletes.

Special types

• For children: Children’s glass bottles with fairytale designs and a secure cap that is easy to handle even for little hands.
• With sleeve: Bottles with a protective silicone or neoprene wrap for better grip and protection against breakage, such as a glass bottle with a silicone sleeve.

Looking after your glass bottle

To make sure your glass bottle lasts as long as possible, take regular care of it. Wash it with warm water and washing-up liquid or put it in the dishwasher. You should also get a suitable brush to clean the inside of the bottle.

If you’re using it for outdoor activities, use a protective sleeve or case to help prevent breakage if you drop it.
