Choose the bottle format and quantity for your table first, then decide which flavours and ingredients suit your guests. Tesco lists Coca-Cola Original Taste in a smaller 4 x 250ml glass-bottle pack, while Your Coca-Cola UK lists several cola, orange and lemon-lime options in 24 x 330ml glass-bottle cases. A familiar flavour or glass packaging alone does not tell you the drink’s sugar content, so check the label on the exact pack.
The useful starting point is whether guests need individual bottles, a particular flavour or a drink with different ingredients.
If the presentation calls for glass rather than cans or a shared plastic bottle, check both the container and the pack count. Tesco lists Coca-Cola Original Taste as 4 x 250ml glass bottles; Your Coca-Cola UK lists several glass-bottle drinks in 24 x 330ml cases.
Regular and zero-sugar versions of a familiar drink need separate label checks. Coca-Cola GB lists 10.6g sugars per 100ml for Original Taste and 0g per 100ml for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar.
Orange and lemon-lime glass-bottle cases provide other flavour choices alongside cola. Check the ingredients on each pack if guests have preferences concerning sweeteners, caffeine or other listed ingredients.
Confirm the physical pack before comparing flavours: the same drink name and volume can appear in different containers.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle format and quantity | Look for an explicit glass-bottle description. Compare bottle count and volume: Tesco lists 4 x 250ml Coca-Cola Original Taste bottles, while Your Coca-Cola UK lists several 24 x 330ml cases. | I want bottles to set on the table, but I also need a pack size that makes sense for the number of guests. |
| Sugar per drink | Compare sugars per 100ml and per bottle on the exact label. Tesco lists 27g sugars in a 250ml Coca-Cola Original Taste bottle; Coca-Cola GB lists 0g per 100ml for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. | If guests want a zero-sugar choice, I need to distinguish it from the regular version rather than choosing by flavour or bottle material. |
| Flavour and ingredients | Choose between cola, orange and lemon-lime flavours, then read the sweetener and ingredient statements. Coca-Cola GB lists a source of phenylalanine for Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and caffeine flavouring for Original Taste. | Some guests may prefer a fruit flavour; others may want to check particular ingredients before accepting a drink. |
Volume does not identify the container. For example, the Joybuy Fanta Orange 8 x 330ml listing describes an eight-can multipack, which would not meet a glass-bottle requirement.
Check that the exact listing specifies glass bottles, their volume and the number supplied.
A glass bottle can still contain a regular-sugar drink. Tesco lists 27g sugars in one 250ml bottle of Coca-Cola Original Taste.
Read the nutrition panel for the bottle you plan to serve, not just the front of the pack.
Zero sugar does not describe every ingredient. Coca-Cola GB’s Coca-Cola Zero Sugar information includes a statement that the drink contains a source of phenylalanine.
Check the current ingredients and label statements when a guest needs to avoid a particular ingredient.
A 24 x 330ml case is a different commitment from a 4 x 250ml pack, particularly for a small dinner.
Count likely servings and consider where the bottles will go before choosing a pack.
These references describe particular drinks and listings, not every product sold under each name.
Cola choices include Original Taste and Zero Sugar glass-bottle cases listed by Your Coca-Cola UK; Tesco also lists a smaller Original Taste glass-bottle pack.
Your Coca-Cola UK lists Fanta Orange as a 24 x 330ml glass-bottle case for an orange-flavoured alternative to cola.
Your Coca-Cola UK lists Sprite Zero in a 24 x 330ml glass-bottle case for guests who prefer lemon-lime flavour.
Pepsi Classic is another cola to consider when comparing flavours, but a Pepsi Classic listing needs an explicit glass-bottle description to meet this table-setting requirement.
Tesco is the retailer listing a smaller Coca-Cola Original Taste glass-bottle pack, not the maker of that drink.
This 750ml sparkling apple drink offers a fruit-flavoured option to consider for a shared curry-night table. If glass bottles are essential, confirm the container on the product page before ordering; check the current label for nutrition details.

A 750ml sparkling apple option for sharing rather than an individual 250ml or 330ml serving. Confirm the bottle material and sugar information on the current listing and label. The product information states that it is not suitable for children under four.
Check that the exact pack description says ‘glass bottles’ and gives a bottle count and volume. Tesco’s Coca-Cola Original Taste listing specifies 4 x 250ml glass bottles, whereas the similarly sized Joybuy Fanta Orange 8 x 330ml listing describes cans.
For the two Coca-Cola drinks listed by Coca-Cola GB, Zero Sugar has 0g sugars per 100ml and Original Taste has 10.6g per 100ml. Check the exact bottle’s label when comparing other drinks or pack variants.
No. Coca-Cola GB states that Coca-Cola Zero Sugar contains a source of phenylalanine; guests who need to check particular ingredients should read the current label for the exact drink being served.
