TOP 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL BOTTLES
After I pulled these photos from each brands’ website, and put my top 10 list together, I noticed that all of the products are light spirits (e.g., vodka) or at least light in color (e.g., light rum). Wonder what that means, especially since I drink brown goods with a fair amount of frequency? Are dark spirits’ bottles (e.g., whiskey, scotch) less aesthetically pleasing or do light spirits have stronger marketing and/or have a stronger focus on design since there is less in the way of taste differences [vodka by its very nature should be color-less, odor-less and taste-less]? Hmmm…something to think about.
