Using sugar and yeast, alcohol is produced via a fermenting process. The art and technique of enclosing or protecting alcohol for storage, distribution, sale, and usage is alcohol packaging.

Thanks to its properties like recycling, reusability, and neutral reactivity, glass is becoming one of the most often used and fastest-growing materials in alcohol packaging. It avoids infection and stores alcohol for longer times. For longer term storage of spirits, glass is ideal since it is quite permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Glass undergoes a dealkanization process, which gives great resistance to leaching. Glass's non-porous and impermeable character stops interaction between glass packaging and alcohol, therefore influencing the alcohol taste. Since the alcohol has a 0% rate of chemical interaction, it has no effect on its taste, smell, or strength.
