Secure Your Spot

Secure your spot among industry trailblazers and dive into the future of spirits today! Let us ignite your vision, fuel your growth, and watch your brand rise to the top shelf.

Studies have shown that the No-Lo market is certainly on the rise as consumers prioritise moderation and health, with sales almost doubling in 2023. This season, football fans were embracing non-alcoholic alternatives of well-known favourites for the latest UEFA championship.

More and more brands continue to add non-alcoholic alternatives to their ranges, aligning with this shift in the industry.

Like great artists sign their masterpieces, every bottle produced by Verallia UK is stamped with our signature code.

We take pride in the incredible work we do. Our code reflects the time and dedication placed into creating premium glass packaging.

An artist’s signature often signifies the completion of a piece, similarly a Verallia stamp signifies top-quality production, a high-calibre finish, and a distinctive glass bottle.

You can identify our bottles with our distinct punt marks “VUKG” and “VUKL” which mark Verallia UK Knottingley and Verallia UK Leeds – marked on the base of the bottle.

Keep an eye out for our Verallia code!

This Saturday is World Rum Day, let's cheers to that! 🍹

Driven by innovation and imagination, the rum category is seeing more new interesting flavour profiles than ever before.

One such rum to celebrate is @AbingdonDistillery who have been pushing taste boundaries such as their maple rum that is aged in Canadian maple syrup casks. To compliment their unique flavours and stand out labels, the rum proudly sits inside the West bottle. chosen from our Selective Line.

Perfect for sipping, a rumberry punch or even a rum old fashioned, let’s raise a glass to a classic!
