Filed under: Spirits

What liquor should you sell in an inflight sales catalog? How about one with a plane in the bottle? The Alexander Sky bottle of Prosecco grappa has a blown glass shape of an airplane inside the bottle and is listed in the new Lufthansa inflight catalog. The bottle also contains the grappa, a pure white grape-based elixir with fruit aromas and a dangerous potency. The Sky is just one of the Alexander bottles with a unique design. There is Aquarium, a bottle with a tiny glass fish inside, Discovery with a glass bottle inside and World which features a globe.

In Italy they are celebrating their World Cup victory and the grappa producer Distilleria Bottega wants to help. Decanter reports that the company has created a special bottle of grappa made from grapes produced all over Italy. The special grappa uses nine grape varieties and the hand-blown glass bottle has an Italian flag immersed in the liquor. There will only be 24 bottles, one for each of the players and the coach and a special giant three-liter bottle for left back Fabio Grosso who is Bottega's player of the tournament.
