Households stocking single-serve cola
A case of individual bottles can suit meals, visitors or occasional entertaining. Your Coca-Cola UK and DrinkSupermarket list 24 × 330ml glass-bottle cola cases.
Who these drinks suit
Shoppers looking beyond cola
Ginger beer or another distinctive flavour may suit drinks served with food or used as mixers. Fentimans describes its range as botanically brewed; check the container material of the particular pack before choosing it for a glass-bottle pantry.
Shoppers comparing sugar
Check the nutrition panel rather than choosing by bottle material alone. Regency Foods lists 36g sugars per 330ml bottle for its Pepsi glass-bottle pack, while Coca-Cola GB lists Coca-Cola Zero Sugar at 0g sugars; confirm the packaging of any zero-sugar variant separately.
What to check before buying
Start with the exact bottle material and case size, then compare the drink and plan where the bottles will go.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Glass and pack size | Confirm that the exact pack specifies glass, its bottle volume and its bottle count. Your Coca-Cola UK lists 24 × 330ml glass bottles; Pepsi glass-bottle listings show 12- and 24-bottle formats. | I want bottles I can use one at a time, in a case that fits my storage space. |
| Flavour and drink type | Decide whether you want standard cola or a ginger or botanical drink. Tesco lists Fentimans Ginger Beer as 4 × 275ml; confirm the material of that exact pack if glass is essential. | For guests or mixed drinks, I may want a non-cola flavour alongside a familiar cola. |
| Sugar and sweeteners | Compare sugars per 100ml and per bottle, and read the ingredients for sweeteners. Regency Foods lists 36g sugars per 330ml Pepsi bottle; Tesco lists 4.4g per 100ml for Fentimans Ginger Beer. | Before buying a case, I want to know what is in a whole bottle, not just the per-100ml figure. |
| Delivery and storage | Read the seller’s delivery conditions and set aside a protected storage spot. DrinkSupermarket warns that fragile glass items may not be shipped in their original packaging. | I need somewhere the bottles will not be knocked over, and I want to check their condition when they arrive. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming every bottle-shaped listing is glass
The same drink may be listed in different container formats, so a product name or picture alone may not identify the pack you want.
Check the exact listing for container material, bottle volume and case count before ordering.
-
Checking sugar per 100ml but not per bottle
The full serving can be larger than the comparison figure: Regency Foods states 36g sugars per 330ml bottle for its Pepsi glass-bottle pack.
Compare products per 100ml, then check the stated serving value or calculate it using the bottle volume. Read the ingredients if sweeteners matter to you.
-
Overlooking glass-bottle handling
Glass bottles need protection from knocks, and DrinkSupermarket warns that fragile items may arrive without their original packaging.
Make room for the case without overstacking bottles, and inspect an online delivery promptly for damage.
Brand references for this choice
Coca-Cola
A familiar cola route for a pantry case of individual bottles.
- Your Coca-Cola UK lists Coca-Cola Original Taste as 24 individual 330ml glass bottles.
- Check the nutrition and packaging of a different Coca-Cola variant separately; a Zero Sugar nutrition listing does not establish its glass-pack format.
Pepsi
Another cola option with listed 330ml glass-bottle cases.
- DrinkSupermarket lists a 24-bottle glass case, while Regency Foods lists a 12-bottle glass case.
- Regency Foods states 36g sugars per 330ml bottle for its 12-bottle pack; check the label of the exact pack you buy.
Fentimans
A ginger beer and botanical soft-drink option when you want something other than standard cola.
- Fentimans describes its soft drinks as botanically brewed, and Tesco lists its Ginger Beer in a 4 × 275ml format.
- Confirm the exact pack’s container material before treating that 4 × 275ml listing as a glass-bottle option.

Frequently asked questions
How can I compare sugar across different bottle sizes?
Start with sugars per 100ml for a like-for-like comparison, then check the amount in the whole bottle. Regency Foods lists 36g sugars per 330ml bottle for its Pepsi glass pack, while Tesco lists 4.4g per 100ml for Fentimans Ginger Beer. Check the exact pack and its ingredients, including any sweeteners.
Where should I keep glass bottles in a pantry?
Keep them in a protected spot where they cannot be knocked over or fall, and follow the storage instructions on the drink you buy. Tesco advises cool, dry storage for its Fentimans Ginger Beer and refrigeration after opening.
What should I check when ordering a glass-bottle case online?
Confirm the container material, bottle volume and case count on the exact listing, then read the seller’s delivery conditions. DrinkSupermarket warns that fragile glass items may not be shipped in their original packaging, so inspect the bottles when they arrive.
