A leading premium glass bottle maker and decorator in the U.S., Saverglass, an Orora Group company, has released its lightest weight wine bottles. From design to logistics, structural qualities to aesthetics, wine producers have a wide range of available options in the premiumization category.

Inspired by customers’ desire for a high-quality and lightweight bottle, Saverglass launched the first two bottles of a new collection in 2026 called Optimum.

The Optimum Collection features unique and innovative lightweight glass bottle shapes. With its low shoulder and long, slender neck, the Burgundy shaped BLOSSOM OPTIMUM bottle boasts a unique silhouette and optimized design. Its technical features include a height of 11.81 inches, a punt of 0.79 inches and its featherweight of 419 grams.

The Bordeaux shaped CHERRY OPTIMUM retains the timeless elegance of historic bordelaises thanks to its emblematic details including a rounded shoulder, a slightly tapered body, a punt of 0.79 inches and a height of 12.32 inches. Both the BLOSSOM and CHERRY stand out for their screwcap closure, offering convenience and facilitating access to export markets where this type of closure is often preferred.

As with any product, the packaging is an external reflection of what is inside and the brand owner’s unique vision for its product. Hence, the options for the packaging also play a crucial role in helping define the product’s quality and differentiation among competitors.

For the BLOSSOM and CHERRY, wine producers have a choice of two colors. The first option is Antique Green, which offers the highest ultra violet protection and is produced using new and recycled glass (cullet). The second option is Extra White, a special glass characterized by its transparency, unique brilliance and luster. Each option reinforces the luxury cues Saverglass customers expect, while supporting their environmental goals.
