Do you need bottles?

by **choppy** » Fri Jul 25, 2014 9:34 pm

I found this place that sells bottles direct to public. I'll be placing an order next week.

The first bottle I asked about only came by the pallet.

But this bottle below comes in 10 packs with a minimum order of $75 (plus postage)

The bottles work out at about $1.30 each including the BVS closure (plus postage).

visit www.plasdene.com.au and the bottle I am referring to is 750ml Flint BVS bottle

From their home page choose wine bottles-vie online catalogue-claret-australian-BVS, make sure you choose the 750ml as they also come in 375ml

This it? http://www.plasdene.com.au/category/pro ... 750-239-FL

Looks good but the pushed in bottom puts me off for storing spirit

I didn't even consider the dimpled base. I figured if they keep wine in them they'd work for hooch too.

I'll still get some and use them for the girlie brews I do for my misses and her friends. I'll keep my 1.125's for my dark spirits.

And thanks for making it easier with that link - I shoulda thought of that myself.

Anyway, back to the footy...

Why is the dimple in the bottom a bad thing?

Ever bought a bottle of bourbon or rum with a dimple in it?

No reason why you can't store spirit in it, but when you're going to the trouble of buying bottles, why not get ones that suit?

Nothing wrong with them I just prefer the look of spirit bottles :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I get mine from here. http://www.galaimports.biz

Delivery isn't too expensive when I have bought a couple of cartons at a time.

I have bought the pharmacy bottles (250 & 500 mL) and the clock face ones when they were on special.

Choppy, I bought 200 of them, :) black screw tops + I got black top cork stoppers for them as well. I think the dimple (punted bottom) look good to be honest, I cant find the picture but when Doc posted his Vodka I thought it was sophisticated. And good value.

Good one Peter.

My brother is a bar manager, which you would expect to be a good place to get spirit bottles.

But he only goes through about 2 bottles of spirits a week as most people drink pre mix spirits these days. plus it's bit of a yuppy pub.

But what he is getting me is clear wine bottles. I soak them for an hour or so and then scrape off the labels, clean off any residue, wash them in bottle wash and they come up a treat. Keeps me entertained while the still is running.

I'm gunna keep doing this for a while and when I get a few hundred I'll throw an ad on here and flog them off cheap. Postage will be the killer, but anyone in the Newcastle area might be interested.

Touche!

I still think whiskey belongs in undimpled, square bottles... Rum goes in undimpled round bottles :handgestures-thumbupleft:
