For watching football at home, choose a glass-bottle cordial if the bottle itself matters to you: Waitrose identifies Belvoir Lime Cordial as glass, while a UK trade listing identifies Bottlegreen Lime & Mint as glass in a 6 × 500ml pack. If dilution yield or a no-added-sugar formulation matters more, compare squash using the exact product’s preparation instructions rather than its bottle size alone. For a match at a stadium, check that venue’s rules before taking any drink; Wembley does not permit glass bottles.
If you want cordial to mix with still or sparkling water during the match, a documented glass bottle can suit a setting where glass is practical. Waitrose identifies Belvoir Lime Cordial as a glass-bottle option; a UK trade listing identifies Bottlegreen Lime & Mint in a glass 6 × 500ml pack.
Check the ground’s container rules before choosing packaging. Wembley Stadium prohibits glass bottles and permits only specified empty, crushable, soft clear plastic bottles of 500ml or under without tops; rules for a particular event may differ.
If the formulation and number of prepared drinks matter more than a glass bottle, compare the exact squash labels. Tesco lists 50 servings and a 1:19 dilution for its Quadruple Strength Orange Squash No Added Sugar, while Waitrose gives a 1:4 dilution for Robinsons Orange No Added Sugar.
Decide where you will serve the drink, then compare the exact bottle’s packaging, dilution instructions and after-opening guidance.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Bottle and venue | Confirm the material of the exact product bottle, not the drinking glass shown in serving guidance. For an away match, check the ground’s current rules and any event-specific instructions; Wembley prohibits glass bottles. | I want a glass bottle for drinks at home, or a container that the match venue will permit. |
| Dilution and yield | Compare the stated water-to-concentrate ratio and serving basis. Waitrose lists Belvoir Lime at 1:8; Tesco lists its Quadruple Strength Orange squash at 1:19 and 50 servings. | Several people will want drinks during the match, so the number of prepared servings matters more to me than bottle volume alone. |
| Ingredients and nutrition | Read the exact product’s ingredients, sweeteners and nutrition information on a comparable diluted basis. Check the current allergen declaration where relevant. | I’m choosing between a no-added-sugar squash and a cordial, and want to know what each prepared drink contains. |
| After opening | Check whether the bottle needs refrigeration and when its label says to use it. Waitrose says to consume Robinsons Orange No Added Sugar within four weeks; M&S says to refrigerate its Fragrant British Elderflower Cordial and consume it within two weeks. | If I only make drinks for occasional matches, I want a bottle size I can use within its stated window. |
A product image or reference to a serving glass does not establish the material of the bottle being sold.
Look for an explicit packaging description for the exact variant. Waitrose identifies Belvoir Lime Cordial as a glass bottle; a UK trade listing identifies Bottlegreen Lime & Mint as glass in its 6 × 500ml pack.
Wembley Stadium prohibits glass bottles, and its permitted-container guidance can differ for particular events.
Read the ground’s current prohibited-items information and the instructions for your match before travelling. Use an alternative container only if that venue permits it.
Different dilution ratios change how many drinks a bottle makes; opening instructions also affect whether an occasional household can use it as directed.
Compare the exact product’s ratio, stated servings and use-within instructions before choosing a size.
A no-added-sugar label describes a particular formulation, not the ingredients or diluted nutrition of another drink.
Check each bottle’s ingredients, sweeteners and nutrition values using the same prepared-drink basis.
Belvoir Lime Cordial is a glass-bottle choice for mixing drinks at home: Waitrose lists the 500ml bottle as glass and gives a 1:8 dilution with still or sparkling water.
Bottlegreen lists 500ml cordials for dilution with still or sparkling water. UK trade supplier DDC Foods identifies its Lime & Mint 6 × 500ml pack as glass.
Robinsons Orange No Added Sugar is an everyday squash option when a verified glass bottle is not the deciding requirement. Waitrose gives a 1:4 dilution for the named product.

No. Serving guidance describes the vessel used to prepare a drink, not necessarily the product’s packaging. If you need a glass bottle, look for an explicit material description for the exact product and pack.
Follow the instructions on the exact bottle, as they differ by product. Waitrose says to consume Robinsons Orange No Added Sugar within four weeks of opening, while M&S says to refrigerate its Fragrant British Elderflower Cordial and consume it within two weeks.
Read the current ingredients and allergen declaration on the exact pack. GOV.UK says that if a prepacked food or drink contains any of the 14 allergens covered by its guidance, they must be clearly labelled within the ingredients list.
