Festival-goers packing refreshments
Check whether your event admits outside soft drinks as well as whether it allows glass. Victorious Festival and Taste of London publish different restrictions, so one event’s rules cannot stand in for another’s.
Who is choosing the drinks?
Hosts serving a festival-themed meal
For a meal at home, private catering or a venue that has confirmed glass is permitted, individually portioned 330ml bottles may fit the serving plan. Your Coca-Cola UK lists 24-bottle cases of Coca-Cola Original Taste, Fanta Orange and Sprite No Sugar.
Shoppers comparing flavours and sugar
Cola, caffeine-free orange and zero-sugar lemon-and-lime drinks meet different preferences. Compare the label for the exact drink and serving size rather than treating every fizzy drink as interchangeable.
What should you check first?
Settle where the drinks will be served before comparing flavour, ingredients and the number of bottles needed.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Event entry | Read the named event’s current glass-container rules and its separate policy on outside soft drinks. Victorious Festival prohibits beverages and glass; Taste of London restricts outside soft drinks. | If I’m taking drinks to a festival, I need to know whether I can bring them in before choosing a container. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Compare the drink’s flavour, sugars per serving and ingredient label. Your Coca-Cola UK describes Fanta Orange as caffeine free and lists Sprite No Sugar as a zero-sugar drink containing sweeteners. | I might want caffeine-free orange, or I might prefer lemon and lime without sugar; those are different choices. |
| Serving format | Count the servings needed and check bottle size and case quantity. The glass-bottle cases listed by Your Coca-Cola UK each contain 24 individual 330ml bottles. | For a meal where glass is allowed, I want enough drinks for the group without assuming a case is the right quantity. |
What can catch you out?

Ordering glass bottles before checking entry rules
Glass and outside drinks are separate questions. Victorious Festival prohibits beverages and glass, while Taste of London restricts outside soft drinks.
Check the exact event’s current prohibited-items and refreshments policies before ordering drinks to take in. If glass is not permitted, choose a container the event explicitly allows.
-
Assuming caffeine-free means sugar-free
Your Coca-Cola UK describes Fanta Orange as caffeine free, but its product information also lists sugar and sweeteners.
Compare the nutrition panel and ingredients for the bottle you intend to serve. If avoiding sugar matters, check the label of a zero-sugar option and whether its sweeteners suit your guests.
-
Choosing a case without counting servings
The Coca-Cola Original Taste, Fanta Orange and Sprite No Sugar glass-bottle cases listed by Your Coca-Cola UK each contain 24 bottles of 330ml. A case quantity alone does not tell you how many your gathering needs.
Plan the number of drinks to serve, then check the pack format and whether glass is permitted at the serving location.

Common questions
Can I take glass-bottled fizzy drinks into a UK festival?
Check the rules for the specific festival before packing them. Victorious Festival prohibits beverages and glass, while Download Festival’s published glass-bottle restriction concerns alcohol; neither policy establishes what another event permits.
Can I bring my own fizzy drinks to a food festival?
That depends on the event’s outside-drinks policy, regardless of container. Taste of London says outside soft drinks are not admitted except to accommodate access or medical requirements, at security’s discretion, so check the current policy for the event you plan to attend.
Which glass-bottle choice has zero sugar?
Your Coca-Cola UK lists Sprite No Sugar in a 24 x 330ml glass-bottle case and describes it as zero sugar. It contains sweeteners, so check the ingredient label if those affect your choice.
Is glass-bottled Fanta Orange caffeine free?
Your Coca-Cola UK describes its 24 x 330ml glass-bottle Fanta Orange case as caffeine free. It also lists sugar and sweeteners, so use the nutrition panel if you are comparing sugar content.
