Brands are being pushed by the increasing appeal for high-end wines, liquor, and craft drinks to deploy premium, glamorous packaging, such as embossed glass bottles and metal labels. Bacardi, for instance, launched collectible, specialty rum in attractive glass bottles during 2024 for gift consumers and collectors. Especially for the highly competitive wine and alcohol businesses, packaging has become a central element in branding, extending product attractiveness and visibility on shelves.

Integrating Smart Packaging for Safety and Branding: Alcohol packaging is being transformed as an interactive device for brand engagement and anti-counterfeiting using QR codes, NFC tags, and augmented reality labels. Glenfiddich launched limited-edition whiskey bottles with NFC chips in 2025, enabling customers to check authenticity and gain access to origin stories. In the premium alcohol market, this trend increases client loyalty, traceability, and transparency.

Asia Pacific dominates the alcohol packaging industry due to increasing middle-class populations, urbanization, and increased drinking. Expansion is also driven by rising investment in local brewers and the use of environmentally friendly packaging materials such as recyclable PET and lightweight glass. As a demonstration of the region's shift towards more innovative and sustainable pack forms, Japanese drinks company Suntory launched a paper bottle concept for spirits in 2024.
