Kombucha and Functional Beverage Glass Bottles: Pressure Management, Format Selection and B2B Sourcing Guide

Kombucha and functional carbonated beverages share a glass packaging challenge that other beverage categories do not: pressure that is either variable, uncertain, or continues to develop after bottling. A still herbal infusion or a cold-brew botanical drink presents a straightforward glass specification — no internal pressure, standard beverage glass, closure selection based on aesthetics and shelf-life. Kombucha, by contrast, is a live fermented product whose residual yeast and bacteria continue producing CO₂ after the bottle is sealed. The internal pressure at the moment of bottling is not the internal pressure in the bottle two weeks later on a warm distribution truck. That distinction — between a fixed carbonation level and a dynamic, living fermentation environment — changes the glass specification calculus fundamentally.

For B2B glass packaging buyers working with kombucha producers, craft soda brands, functional drink brands, and health beverage companies entering the premium glass segment, this pressure uncertainty is the central technical challenge. It sits alongside a set of commercial decisions that are specific to these categories: format conventions that differ significantly from mainstream beer and spirits markets; closure options that balance pressure management with the consumer ritual and aesthetic that premium functional brands depend on; and glass colour and decoration strategies appropriate to health-positioning brands whose visual language borrows from wellness rather than from traditional beverages.

This guide covers the unique pressure dynamic of live-fermentation kombucha and how to account for it in glass specification; how functional carbonated beverages differ from kombucha in pressure profile; format and closure selection for both categories; glass colour and decoration for health-positioned brands; and the B2B sourcing checklist for kombucha and functional beverage glass from Chinese manufacturers. For reference on non-fermented cold-brew and botanical beverages that share the format space without the pressure challenge, see our guide to cold-brew and herbal drink glass bottle specifications — the present article covers the specifically pressurised end of the functional beverage glass category.

Quick Answers: Kombucha and Functional Beverage Glass Packaging

Why does kombucha create more glass specification risk than standard carbonated drinks?

Standard carbonated beverages — sparkling water, carbonated soft drinks, and most beers — have a fixed, known CO₂ level at the point of bottling. Kombucha contains live cultures of bacteria and yeast that continue metabolising sugars and producing CO₂ after the bottle is sealed. The internal pressure at bottling is therefore a minimum, not a fixed value. Under warm storage conditions, ongoing fermentation can increase internal pressure significantly beyond the initial carbonation level, creating a glass failure or closure ejection risk that does not exist for beverages with static carbonation. This means kombucha glass must be specified with a safety margin above the expected working pressure at bottling, not simply matched to it.

What is the standard bottle format for kombucha in the US and EU markets?

Format conventions differ significantly by market. In the US craft kombucha segment, 473mL (16 US fl oz) and 946mL (32 US fl oz / 1 quart) are the dominant retail formats — the quart bottle is particularly distinctive to the US health food channel and signals genuine craft production. In EU and UK markets, 330mL and 500mL are the more common single-serve formats, aligning with conventional beverage shelf expectations. The 750mL large format appears in premium and sharing-occasion kombucha in both markets. Brands entering multiple markets typically launch in 330mL or 473mL as the most universally interpretable single-serve format before expanding to market-specific volumes.

What closure type is most compatible with active-fermentation kombucha?

The 26mm crown cap is the most pressure-reliable closure for commercial kombucha — the same closure used for beer, with an equivalent pressure seal that is well-tested for carbonated liquid containment. Swing-top (Bügelverschluss) closures are very popular aesthetically in the premium kombucha segment but require careful specification: the stopper's silicone or rubber seal ring must be rated for the full expected pressure range including post-bottling fermentation peaks, and the stopper material must be compatible with kombucha's acidic pH (2.5–3.5). ROPP screw caps are viable for pasteurised or carefully controlled-fermentation kombucha where pressure is more predictable. Traditional cork closures are not appropriate for active-fermentation kombucha under any circumstances.

Can energy drinks and premium functional beverages be effectively packaged in glass rather than cans?

Yes, and this is a growing commercial trend. Premium and craft energy drink brands are increasingly using glass to differentiate from the mass-market can format, targeting health-conscious and premium-on-trade consumers who associate glass with quality, natural ingredients, and sustainability. The 250mL tall slender glass bottle — replicating the silhouette proportions of the energy drink can but in premium glass — is the most commonly used format for glass-format energy drinks. The specification challenge is lower than for kombucha (functional beverages have fixed carbonation levels), but the premium positioning imperative requires heavier, better-decorated glass than conventional beverage packaging.

Does kombucha's acidity affect glass specification or food safety compliance?

Kombucha's typical pH of 2.5–3.5 is acidic but well within the range that standard soda-lime glass handles without any material compatibility issue. Glass is chemically one of the most acid-resistant packaging materials available and significantly more stable in acidic environments than metal or certain plastics. The acidity is relevant, however, for closure material selection: natural rubber seal rings can degrade over time in highly acidic environments, and silicone or EPDM seal materials are preferred for swing-top closures used with kombucha. Food contact compliance (EU Regulation 1935/2004) applies to kombucha glass in the same way as for any other food-contact beverage glass.

Two Categories, One Pressure Challenge

Kombucha and functional carbonated beverages are distinct categories, but they share the glass packaging space and, to varying degrees, the challenge of managing internal pressure in a context where standard beverage glass assumptions may not apply.

Kombucha is a fermented tea beverage produced using a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). The fermentation process produces organic acids, B vitamins, and CO₂. Unlike beer, which is carefully conditioned to a specific carbonation level before bottling and then sealed to prevent further CO₂ development, commercial kombucha is bottled with residual live culture. The degree to which fermentation continues after bottling depends on residual sugar content, live yeast count, storage temperature, and shelf life — variables that are managed but not eliminated. This makes kombucha's in-bottle pressure dynamic fundamentally different from beverages with controlled static carbonation.

Functional carbonated beverages — including craft energy drinks, prebiotic sparkling waters, adaptogen beverages, probiotic sodas, and carbonated botanical drinks such as premium ginger beer — typically have fixed carbonation levels achieved by injecting CO₂ at a controlled rate before bottling. They do not have the live-fermentation pressure uncertainty of raw kombucha. Their glass specification challenge is closer to sparkling water or craft beer: a defined working pressure that the glass must contain, without the additional variable of post-bottling fermentation. What distinguishes them from those categories in glass specification terms is their strong positioning in the premium wellness market, which drives specific glass weight, format, and decoration expectations.

Kombucha's Unique Pressure Dynamic: Live Fermentation After Bottling

Why Kombucha Pressure Is Variable, Not Fixed

At the moment of bottling, a commercial kombucha producer targets a specific carbonation level — typically 2.5–4.0 volumes CO₂, producing approximately 1.5–2.5 bar overpressure at 20°C. This is comparable to a lightly carbonated beverage or a lower-carbonation beer. However, if residual live yeast and bacteria remain active in the bottle, ongoing fermentation continues to consume any residual sugar present and produce additional CO₂. The rate of this post-bottling fermentation depends on three variables that are difficult to control perfectly in a commercial production context: residual sugar content at bottling, residual live culture activity, and storage temperature throughout the distribution chain.

Under cold chain conditions (maintained at 2–4°C), residual fermentation is minimal — at these temperatures, yeast and bacteria activity is very slow. This is why raw kombucha is almost universally a cold-chain product, and why the cold chain is not optional for kombucha producers using glass with pressure ratings appropriate to their target carbonation level. A break in the cold chain — a warm truck, an uncooled retail stockroom, or a prolonged period at ambient temperature — accelerates fermentation and can push in-bottle pressure significantly above the design working pressure.

How Commercial Kombucha Producers Manage Pressure

• Cold chain maintenance: The primary control mechanism. Keeping the kombucha at ≤4°C from bottling through retail significantly limits post-bottling fermentation activity. This is a distribution and retail requirement, not a glass specification solution — but it defines the pressure environment the glass must survive.

• Precise fermentation control before bottling: Careful management of residual sugar (often ≤2g/L residual at bottling) and active culture count reduces the potential for significant post-bottling pressure development. This requires rigorous process control and often third-party lab testing at bottling.

• Short shelf life: Many raw kombucha products carry shelf life of 30–90 days refrigerated, limiting the window over which post-bottling fermentation can accumulate. Shorter shelf life reduces the cumulative pressure risk but requires fast and efficient distribution.

• Pasteurization (trade-off approach): Heat pasteurization kills the live culture entirely, eliminating post-bottling fermentation and creating a stable, predictable pressure profile. This simplifies glass specification but removes the "live culture" marketing claim that is central to raw kombucha's health positioning. Pasteurised kombucha is a distinct product category with different glass specification requirements — essentially equivalent to a standard carbonated beverage with a fixed carbonation level.

Hard Kombucha: A Higher-Pressure Variant

Hard kombucha — fermented further to produce 3–8% ABV — is a growing category that combines the kombucha flavour profile with a significant alcohol content. Hard kombucha typically has higher carbonation levels than regular kombucha (often 3–5 volumes CO₂) and is regulated as an alcoholic beverage in the US under TTB jurisdiction, requiring COLA approval and meeting TTB format requirements. In the EU and UK, hard kombucha falls within the alcoholic beverages regulatory framework once it exceeds 1.2% ABV. The glass specification for hard kombucha is closer to beer than to standard kombucha — heavier wall construction, crown cap standard closure, and no live-fermentation pressure uncertainty (since the fermentation is taken to completion before bottling). For the beer-equivalent glass specification framework, see our craft beer glass bottle guide.

Glass Specification for Kombucha: Accounting for Variable Pressure

The Safety Factor Approach

Because kombucha's post-bottling pressure cannot be precisely predicted at the time of glass specification, the correct approach is to specify glass with a burst pressure rating that provides a meaningful safety margin above the maximum expected working pressure under worst-case conditions — not just the target working pressure at bottling.

The appropriate safety factor depends on how well the producer controls fermentation before bottling, the rigor of the cold chain, and the shelf life of the product. As a general framework:

• Well-controlled raw kombucha, rigorous cold chain, ≤60-day shelf life: Specify glass with burst pressure rating at least 2x the target carbonation pressure at 20°C. For example, a 2.0 bar target working pressure at bottling → specify glass rated to minimum 4.0–5.0 bar burst pressure.

• Less controlled fermentation parameters or longer shelf life: Increase the safety factor accordingly. Glass rated to 6.0+ bar burst pressure is appropriate for producers who cannot guarantee tight fermentation control or cold chain integrity throughout distribution.

• Pasteurised kombucha: Specify to the fixed carbonation level as for any standard carbonated beverage — the safety factor for a static working pressure is the same as for sparkling water or comparable beverages.

For comparison, standard beer-grade glass is typically rated to minimum 6 bar burst pressure for a 1.5–1.8 bar working pressure — a safety factor of approximately 3.5–4x. Applying a comparable safety factor to a 2.0 bar kombucha working pressure produces the same 6 bar minimum burst specification. In practice, specifying kombucha glass to beer-grade minimum burst pressure is a conservative and commercially sound approach for most raw kombucha producers.

Wall Thickness and Punt Depth

The structural requirements that achieve the required burst pressure for kombucha glass are the same as for beer glass at comparable pressure ratings: adequate wall thickness at the shoulder and lower body, and a meaningful punt (base indentation) for pressure distribution at the base. Unlike sparkling wine (where the punt is essential for managing 5–6 bar working pressure), kombucha's lower working pressure allows for a shallower punt than Champagne requires — but the punt should not be eliminated entirely, as the flat base is structurally the most pressure-vulnerable geometry. A punt depth of 10–18mm is typical for beer- and kombucha-grade bottles in the 330–500mL range.

For a detailed technical reference on how pressure ratings and wall thickness relate in carbonated beverage glass — useful background for calibrating kombucha glass specification — see our sparkling water bottle pressure rating guide, which covers the ISO pressure test framework that applies equally to kombucha glass specification.

Functional Beverages in Glass: Energy Drinks, Adaptogens and Botanical Carbonates

The broader functional beverage category — encompassing craft and premium energy drinks, adaptogen and nootropic drinks, prebiotic sparkling beverages, CBD beverages, and botanical carbonates such as ginger beer and premium herbal sodas — is increasingly adopting glass as a premium format positioning tool. Unlike kombucha, most of these products have fixed, controlled carbonation levels and do not present the live-pressure challenge. Their glass specification is more straightforward — but the commercial expectations for what the glass must communicate are high.

Premium Energy Drinks: The Can-to-Glass Transition

Energy drinks are historically one of the most can-dominant categories in beverages — the aluminium can is so strongly associated with the category that glass packaging reads as a deliberate counter-positioning statement. This is precisely why some premium and craft energy drink brands are choosing glass: to signal that their product is not the same category as mass-market canned energy drinks, but a premium, quality-ingredient, health-conscious alternative that belongs alongside premium spirits and botanical beverages rather than in the convenience snack aisle.

The glass format most commonly used for premium energy drinks replicates the slender proportions of the energy drink can in a different material: a 250mL tall, narrow-body bottle with a screw cap closure. This silhouette maintains the single-serve serving size and ergonomic proportions that energy drink consumers are familiar with, while the glass material communicates quality and natural positioning. Heavier glass (300–450g for 250mL) contributes to the premium in-hand signal.

Adaptogen and Prebiotic Beverages

Adaptogen drinks (featuring ingredients such as ashwagandha, reishi, lion's mane, and similar functional botanicals) and prebiotic sparkling beverages represent newer functional segments where glass is the default premium format from launch. These categories are building their visual language fresh rather than adapting from a can-dominant heritage, which gives them more freedom in bottle shape and format choice. The 330mL standard single-serve is the most common starting format; 250mL is used for higher-concentration formulations or higher-price-point expressions where a smaller serving is appropriate. Decoration conventions trend toward clean, natural aesthetics — often clear glass to show the product's natural colour, with botanical-referencing ACL motifs or craft paper labels.

Ginger Beer and Premium Botanical Carbonates

Premium ginger beer occupies an interesting position: traditionally bottled (often in glass), genuinely fermented in its artisan forms, and with a significant craft revival that mirrors the craft beer trajectory. Authentic fermented ginger beer — produced with real ginger bug or live ginger cultures — can have variable post-bottling pressure similar to kombucha, requiring the same safety-factor approach to glass specification. Commercial ginger beer produced by forced carbonation (CO₂ injection) has fixed pressure and standard beverage glass specification. The distinction between these two production methods is the essential first question in any ginger beer glass brief — it determines whether the specification follows the kombucha live-pressure framework or the standard carbonated beverage framework.

Format and Closure Selection for Active-Pressure Beverages

Format Conventions by Category

Closure Selection: Pressure Rating vs Brand Aesthetic

The closure is the final pressure-containment element and, for active-fermentation beverages, it carries responsibility for sealing a variable internal environment. The three closure options each make a different trade-off between pressure reliability, aesthetics, and consumer experience:

Crown cap (26mm): The most reliable pressure seal for active-fermentation kombucha. The same closure standard as commercial beer, with a well-established pressure performance history at the carbonation levels relevant to kombucha. The crown cap's limitation is brand aesthetic — it reads as utilitarian and does not signal the premium health-brand positioning that many kombucha producers seek. Some brands address this by applying custom-printed or embossed crown caps in brand colours. The neck finish is the same GS2 standard as for beer, fully standardised in Chinese glass production.

Swing-top / Bügelverschluss: Strongly associated with premium and artisanal kombucha — visually distinctive, resealable, tactile, and closely connected to the craft fermentation tradition. The pressure rating of a swing-top closure depends entirely on the stopper material and seal ring specification: a well-specified silicone seal ring in a high-quality ceramic or composite stopper can provide adequate pressure containment for controlled kombucha fermentation profiles under cold chain conditions. However, swing-top closures are generally not recommended for kombucha with high residual fermentation potential or inadequate cold chain management, as the bail-and-stopper mechanism provides lower maximum pressure containment than a properly applied crown cap. Always test swing-top closure integrity at the maximum expected pressure before commercial use.

ROPP screw cap: Appropriate for pasteurised kombucha and functional beverages with controlled carbonation. Provides good pressure containment and resealability. Less commonly used for raw kombucha because the resealability benefit is partially offset by the lower maximum pressure containment relative to crown cap. For functional carbonated beverages (energy drinks, prebiotic sparkling), ROPP is the standard and appropriate closure.

Glass Colour and Decoration for Health-Positioned Brands

Colour Strategy: Clarity as Health Signal

Unlike beer — where amber glass is the product quality default because of UV sensitivity in hop compounds — kombucha and most functional beverages benefit from clear glass that showcases the product's natural colour. Kombucha's characteristic golden-amber to deep red hues (depending on the base tea and flavour additions), and functional beverages' often vivid fruit or botanical colours, are visual quality signals in themselves. Clear glass allows these colours to function as primary brand elements visible at shelf.

UV sensitivity is not a significant concern for kombucha or most functional beverages — unlike beer, these products do not contain light-sensitive hop compounds. Some functional beverage brands use amber or custom-coloured glass for brand identity purposes rather than product protection, and this is commercially viable as long as the glass colour matches the brand's visual language. Dark green glass is used by some premium botanical beverage brands to signal natural and botanical heritage.

Decoration: Wellness Aesthetics in Glass

Health-positioned functional beverage brands have developed a distinctive visual language that differs from traditional spirits or beer decoration conventions: natural textures, botanical illustration, clean typography, and colour palettes drawn from plant and ingredient colours rather than from conventional beverage branding traditions. In glass terms, this translates to:

• ACL printing: Fine botanical illustration, single or dual colour, applied to clear glass to create a visual layer between the product colour and the external design. Effective for kombucha and botanical beverage brands with plant-forward ingredient identity.

• Embossed texture: Subtle surface textures that reference natural materials — leaf patterns, botanical reliefs, or geometric patterns inspired by traditional fermentation vessels — applied as mould embossing for a tactile brand element.

• Minimal decoration with premium label: Many premium kombucha and functional beverage brands rely primarily on high-quality paper or film labels, often with craft finish (uncoated, recycled content paper) rather than glass-level decoration. In this approach, the glass's weight, clarity, and finish quality are the premium signals, and the label carries the brand's visual identity.

B2B Sourcing Checklist for Kombucha and Functional Beverage Glass

Sourcing glass for kombucha and functional beverages follows the same general framework as any beverage glass procurement, with the specific additions driven by pressure uncertainty and health-brand positioning requirements. Our guide to sourcing custom glass bottles from China covers the full procurement process; the checklist below focuses on the category-specific requirements.

Pre-Production Specification Checklist

• Product type: Raw / unpasteurised kombucha; pasteurised kombucha; hard kombucha (>0.5% ABV); functional carbonated beverage (fixed carbonation) — determines pressure framework and regulatory requirements.

• Carbonation level at bottling: Volumes CO₂ or target overpressure at 20°C — confirmed with the production team's process data, not estimated.

• Post-bottling fermentation potential: Residual sugar at bottling (g/L); cold chain availability; target shelf life — informs safety factor for burst pressure specification.

• Target format and volume: Confirm against the specific target market's format expectations (US quart vs EU 330mL, etc.).

• Closure type: Crown cap (26mm GS2), swing-top (specify mechanism model), or ROPP — determines neck finish profile and pressure performance requirements.

• Glass colour: Clear (default for most kombucha and functional beverages), amber, custom colour — confirm against brand guidelines.

• Target bottle weight: Appropriate to brand positioning tier and format volume.

• Decoration: ACL printing, embossing, or label-only — mould-stage decisions confirmed before tooling.

• Punt requirement: Confirm whether the bottle profile includes a punt and the appropriate punt depth for the pressure rating.

Compliance Documents to Request

• EU Declaration of Conformity (Regulation 1935/2004): Required for all beverage glass for EU markets. HUIHE provides this as standard for all export shipments.

• REACH SVHC Declaration: Confirms absence of Substances of Very High Concern above 0.1% w/w (ECHA candidate list, 253 substances as of February 2026).

• ISO 9001 Certificate: Quality management system confirmation.

• Internal pressure test data (EN ISO 7458): Per-design burst pressure test result — confirming the bottle meets or exceeds the minimum burst pressure appropriate to the product's carbonation level and safety factor requirement.

• Dimensional inspection report (per batch): Height, body diameter, neck finish dimensions, and capacity, confirmed against tolerances per production run.

Pre-Production Sample Testing for Kombucha Glass

For raw kombucha specifically, pre-production sample testing should include filling samples with the actual kombucha product (or a calibrated simulation fluid at the target carbonation level), sealing them with the production closure, and storing them under both cold-chain conditions and a simulated warm-storage condition (for example, 48 hours at 28°C) to observe pressure behaviour and closure integrity. This testing should be conducted before committing to full production, as it reveals real-world pressure behaviour that dimensional testing alone cannot predict. HUIHE provides pre-production sample runs for kombucha and functional beverage glass projects and can supply burst pressure test data for each PPS batch to support this qualification process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if kombucha in glass continues to ferment beyond expected levels during distribution?

If in-bottle pressure exceeds the burst strength of the glass or the containment capacity of the closure, the result is either closure ejection (the crown cap pops or the swing-top stopper releases, causing product loss and potential contamination risk) or, in worst cases, glass failure. Both outcomes are unacceptable in retail or food service environments and create significant liability. The risk is managed by a combination of fermentation control before bottling, cold chain maintenance, burst-rated glass specification, and conservative shelf-life management. Producers experiencing closure ejection events should review all four variables rather than assuming the glass specification alone is the failure point; the most common cause of kombucha packaging failure is inadequate cold chain management or excessive residual sugar at bottling, not insufficient glass burst rating.

How do I specify glass for a hard kombucha product that will be sold in the US market?

Hard kombucha (typically 3–8% ABV) sold in the US is regulated by the TTB as an alcoholic beverage and requires TTB COLA approval with a declared bottle size matching the TTB-approved list (50mL, 100mL, 200mL, 375mL, 750mL, 1L, 1.75L for spirits; for beer-category hard kombucha, the TTB approved malt beverage formats apply). The glass specification for hard kombucha follows the beer-grade framework: minimum burst pressure of approximately 6 bar per EN ISO 7458, crown cap (26mm GS2) as the standard closure, and wall thickness calibrated for the higher carbonation levels typical of hard kombucha (often 3–5 volumes CO₂). The live-fermentation pressure uncertainty of raw kombucha is usually not present in hard kombucha, as fermentation is taken to completion before packaging. HUIHE provides hard kombucha glass specifications aligned with US TTB-approved formats and can supply FDA-aligned food contact compliance documentation.

What should a functional beverage brand consider when transitioning from can to glass format?

The transition from can to glass for a functional beverage brand involves three distinct decisions that must be resolved before the glass specification is finalised. First, format: the standard 250mL or 330mL single-serve glass bottle is not the same geometry as a can, and the brand's visual identity — particularly if built around the can's cylindrical proportions and label area — may need redesign for the different label panel dimensions of glass. Second, weight: glass is significantly heavier than aluminium per unit volume, affecting shipping cost, distribution logistics, and consumer in-hand experience. Third, closure: the convenience of a resealable screw cap (analogous to a can that is opened once) must be balanced against the premium signal of a crown cap or premium alternative. Brands that have successfully made this transition typically redesign the visual identity simultaneously with the format change, treating the glass launch as a brand upgrade moment rather than a simple material substitution.

What compliance documentation does an EU importer of kombucha in glass need from their glass bottle supplier?

For EU market entry of kombucha in glass, the glass supplier should provide: an EU Declaration of Conformity under Regulation 1935/2004 confirming food contact compliance; a REACH SVHC declaration for the current ECHA candidate list (253 substances as of February 2026); an ISO 9001 certificate; internal pressure test data per EN ISO 7458 confirming the bottle's burst pressure meets the safety factor required for the product's carbonation and fermentation profile; and per-batch dimensional inspection reports. Note that EU labelling requirements for kombucha as a food product (ingredient list, allergens, nutritional information) are governed by EU Regulation 1169/2011 on food information to consumers — this is a label design requirement managed by the importer, not a glass supplier compliance obligation, but the label panel area must be confirmed in the glass specification to accommodate mandatory copy. HUIHE provides all standard compliance documents with every export shipment.

Not Sure If Your Glass Can Handle Your Kombucha's Pressure? Let's Check.

The most common glass packaging failure point for kombucha brands is not a wrong specification decision — it is a specification decision made without accounting for the full pressure envelope the bottle will actually experience during distribution and shelf life. The difference between "what the carbonation level was at bottling" and "what the pressure might be after three weeks in an inadequately cooled distribution truck" is where kombucha glass failures happen.

HUIHE provides an Active Beverage Pressure Safety Assessment for kombucha and functional beverage glass projects. Share the following information and we will evaluate whether your current or proposed glass specification is appropriate for your product's pressure profile:

• Product type: raw kombucha / pasteurised kombucha / hard kombucha / functional carbonated beverage

• Target carbonation level at bottling (volumes CO₂ or bar overpressure at 20°C)

• Residual sugar at bottling and cold chain management capability

• Target shelf life and distribution conditions

• Current or proposed closure type (crown cap / swing-top / screw cap)

• Current or proposed glass specification (if available: bottle drawing, existing supplier data, or weight/format)

We will respond with a written pressure safety assessment, a recommendation on whether the proposed glass and closure combination is appropriate, and suggested adjustments if a safety margin increase is warranted.
