AIRPLANE BOTTLES - Libations In The Sky
























It is believed that zeppelins served the first air born libations sometime in the 1900 – 1940 era, since then countless bottles have been consumed trying to calm nerves, enjoying the ride or starting vacation off with a bang. One thing that happens not so very often, someone buys a bottle while on a flight and they never drink it for whatever reason.


These bottles are sought after by bottle collectors do to their scarce nature, ones can be found from every era of fight, from every category of liquor and every size imaginable. The Mini’s (the ones I collect) tend to have a certain shape and size to them, due to the space constraints on commercial airlines. There are many different manufactures of these bottles, thus making collecting as challenging as you would like it to be.


The following is my collection of airplane mini bottles. I hope you enjoy the flight and remain seated until the fasten seatbelts sign is turned off…. You are now free to move about this book.  Cheers.
