Saverglass - distinctive by design

In a world of exceptional wines and spirits, what surrounds the product plays an important role in expressing what makes it special. For Saverglass, the bottle is more than packaging. It is an integral part of the brand story.

It is why Saverglass continually explores new forms, colours, textures and decorative techniques, opening new creative possibilities for premium wine and spirits brands. At the heart of this approach is a belief in design as a creator of value.

Duomo is one expression of this design philosophy. Inspired by the flamboyant domes of the Italian Renaissance, the bottle reawakens traditional lines with distinctive horizontal detailing across its shoulders, demonstrating how subtle design elements can give a familiar form an entirely new character.

Since specialising in luxury glass bottles in 1985, Saverglass has developed deep expertise in creating distinctive packaging for premium and super-premium wines and spirits.

For New Zealand wine and spirits producers, this combination of glassmaking expertise, creativity and decoration provides an opportunity to make a brand's identity tangible. Because truly memorable bottles don't simply hold a product. They help tell its story.

Ginger Bear goes tropical

Just in time for summer, Queenstown craft brewery Crimson Badger Brewing has launched a tropical take on their popular alcoholic ginger beer with new Pineapple Ginger Bear.

They’ve taken their refreshing Ginger Bear and given it a juicy tropical twist, balanced with a natural pineapple flavour and gentle ginger bite.

The Crimson Badger team describes Pineapple Ginger Bear (4% ABV) as “Crisp, tasty, and dangerously easy to get along with. Kind of like your mate with a boat.”

It joins the Crimson Badger Brewing line-up of Original Ginger Bear, Ginger Bear 6%, Dark & Grizzly, and the non- alcoholic Ginger Bear 0%.

The craft brewery was founded in 2017 by Sam, an Australian, and Wes, a Canadian, who met while working in Queenstown and hatched a plan to create an alcoholic ginger beer.

Over the years they have been joined by an equally enthusiastic team and now specialise in unique brews that are fast finding fans across the country.

Crimson Badger Pineapple Ginger Bear (4% ABV) is available in 330ml 10-packs.
