For a hotel breakfast buffet, build a small range with distinct roles: a regular cola, a zero-sugar cola and a non-cola choice, rather than several similar regular colas. UK wholesale listings identify 330ml glass-bottle options for these roles, including a Sprite listing described as caffeine-free; check the exact pack labels, case formats and glass-handling arrangements before ordering.
For buffets where a 330ml glass bottle suits the intended display and replenishment plan. UK wholesale listings from Bestway Wholesale and Delicatezza Wholesale identify glass-bottle cases for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Fanta and Sprite; check each case quantity against storage space and expected breakfast covers.
For hotels that want a choice beyond regular cola. Butcombe Wholesale lists Pepsi Max glass bottles, while Pepsi UK lists 0g sugars per 100ml. Delicatezza Wholesale describes its glass-bottle Sprite listing as caffeine-free. Neither option removes the need to check the current label.
For staff arranging access to current ingredient and allergen information and deciding how glass bottles will be displayed and handled. Food Standards Agency allergen guidance and Health and Safety Executive catering guidance are relevant to those separate tasks.
Choose the drinks by the choices they give guests, then check that the exact bottles and cases work in the buffet space.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle and case format | Confirm glass on the exact listing, bottle volume and bottles per case. Bestway Wholesale lists 12 × 330ml regular Pepsi bottles and 24 × 330ml cases for Coca-Cola and Fanta; Delicatezza Wholesale lists Sprite as 24 × 330ml. | I want individual bottles that fit the display, with case quantities our team can store and replenish. |
| Sugar choice | Compare the current per-100ml label and check for sweeteners. Coca-Cola GB lists Original Taste at 10.6g sugars per 100ml; Pepsi UK lists Pepsi Max at 0g sugars per 100ml and identifies its sweeteners. | Guests should be able to distinguish a regular cola from a zero-sugar cola without relying on the bottle colour alone. |
| Caffeine choice | Check caffeine information for each exact product. Delicatezza Wholesale describes its listed Sprite as caffeine-free; Coca-Cola GB and Pepsi UK identify caffeine in Original Taste and Pepsi Max respectively. | For guests avoiding caffeine, I need an option whose current label supports that choice. |
| Non-cola option | Check the flavour, glass format and current ingredients separately. Bestway Wholesale lists Fanta Orange in a 24 × 330ml glass-bottle case and gives 15g sugars per bottle. | A fruit-flavoured drink would give guests a different choice from cola, but I would not present it as a zero-sugar option. |
| Buffet service | Keep current product information accessible and assess bottle placement and breakage procedures. Food Standards Agency guidance covers allergen information for food businesses; the Health and Safety Executive advises catering employers to assess risks on their premises. | I need staff to be able to answer ingredient questions and respond promptly if a bottle breaks near the food. |
Equal bottle volume does not mean equal sugar content or ingredients. Coca-Cola GB lists Original Taste at 10.6g sugars per 100ml, while Pepsi UK lists Pepsi Max at 0g sugars per 100ml; Pepsi Max contains sweeteners and caffeine.
Give each drink a clear role in the range and use its current label when describing that choice to guests.
A listing for another pack format does not establish a glass-bottle option. Tesco’s cited Dr Pepper multipack is 8 × 330ml cans, so it does not meet a glass-bottle requirement.
Order against a listing that identifies the exact drink, glass bottle, volume and case quantity.
Ingredients and label information can change. This matters when guests ask about sweeteners, caffeine, phenylalanine statements or allergens.
Check the bottles received and keep accurate, current product information available to breakfast staff and guests.
Glass bottles need a placement and clean-up plan in a self-service area. Health and Safety Executive guidance advises catering and hospitality employers to assess risks and maintain safe premises.
Assess the proposed display position and make sure staff know how to isolate and clear a breakage under the hotel’s procedures.
A breakage can also take staff time to clear and may require nearby food or drinks to be assessed before service continues.
These references help distinguish drink types and pack formats; a brand name alone does not confirm that the required glass-bottle version is being ordered.
Bestway Wholesale lists Coca-Cola Original Taste in a 24 × 330ml glass-bottle case for a regular-cola option.
Bestway Wholesale lists regular Pepsi in 12 × 330ml glass bottles; Butcombe Wholesale separately lists Pepsi Max in a 24 × 330ml glass-bottle case.
Bestway Wholesale lists Fanta Orange in a 24 × 330ml glass-bottle case as a fruit-flavoured, non-cola option.
Delicatezza Wholesale lists Sprite in a 24 × 330ml glass-bottle case as a lemon-lime alternative.
Dr Pepper offers a different flavour direction, but the cited Tesco product is an 8 × 330ml can pack.
Tesco is a retailer reference for checking a listed drink’s pack and ingredient information, not a fizzy-drink brand in this selection.
This sparkling apple drink offers a larger glass-bottle option for a buffet considering something other than a 330ml individual serve. Decide how a 750ml bottle would be served and handled before treating it as a substitute for the smaller bottles discussed above.

This sparkling apple drink is identified as a glass-bottle option for chilled service. Its 750ml bottle is larger than the 330ml individual serves considered for the buffet, so check how staff would portion or display it and confirm the order format before buying. Include the glass bottle in the buffet’s handling plan.
Keep the current bottle label or accurate product information accessible to staff and guests. Food Standards Agency guidance addresses allergen information for both prepacked and non-prepacked food and drink in retail and catering; follow the requirements applicable to the hotel’s location and the way drinks are served.
They provide different sugar choices if space and expected demand justify two cola lines. Coca-Cola GB lists Original Taste at 10.6g sugars per 100ml, while Pepsi UK lists Pepsi Max at 0g sugars per 100ml; Pepsi Max still contains caffeine and sweeteners.
Delicatezza Wholesale describes its 24 × 330ml Sprite glass-bottle listing as caffeine-free. Check the label on the exact bottles supplied; Coca-Cola Original Taste and Pepsi Max have caffeine in their cited ingredient information.
Place bottles where they can be picked up without destabilising the display, and include breakages in the hotel’s risk assessment and staff procedures. Health and Safety Executive catering guidance calls for employers to assess risks and maintain safe premises; staff should follow the hotel’s food-safety procedures if glass breaks near food or drinks.
