Liquor Bottle Designs - December 11, 2009



Liquor comes in all shapes and sizes nowadays, and they're all relevant to what's inside. Usually liquor in one standard looking bottle with the wide base that skinnies out near the top. They always have a smaller end so you aren't pouring out a gigantic amount at a time. Most are made of glass but plastic is starting to make a big leap lately, especially in the cheaper to mid-range liquor like Early Times or Smirnoff. There are some crazy variations from the normal liquor bottle, though, like the one above. It's called Crystal Skull and it's Dan Akroyd's signature vodka. Yes, Dan Akroyd. Obviously it costs more because of the design and the fact that it's Akroyd's, but it's definitely worth the money. Not only does the bottle look good and impressive, it tastes good. That's usually what you get when you buy something that stands out or looks different from other liquors. Crown is another great example with it's signature purple bag that gives of a sense of royalty. The design causes it to sell like hotcakes, but the liquid also backs it up. That doesn't mean all great designs mean great tastes, but if they care that much about their design then you can be sure they care about what's inside it.
