The world’s first double-layer wine bottle has been launched by Wasem winery using the Cooleo bottle.

The first Edition of the Cooleo series is a top-class Pinot Noir Rosé and a dry Riesling from Wasem, a winery in Germany, which has ordered 6,000 of the innovative bottles.

The double-walled glass bottle provides an insulating layer to keep drinks cold, regardless of outside temperature when dining alfresco.

“We chose the Cooleo bottle to present our customers and wine lovers with a modern and functional bottle with provides longer drinking pleasure,” said Philipp and Julius Wasem.

The Cooleo is handmade by artisan glass-blowers and designed in Germany with sustainability in mind.

The re-usable Vinolok glass closure can be opened and closed with one hand, ideal for up-cycling and refilling.

Additionally, the glass material and silicone seal of the closure has no impact on the aroma or flavour of the contents.

The distinctive design with its inside layer of glass allows personalisation of the bottle with art, messages or branding.

The glass is scratch-free, temperature resistant and easy to clean, ensuring the artwork you create will be beautifully preserved.

Inventor and CEO of Cooleo Soohee Kim said: “We are so excited to be launching this bottle that is beautiful to behold, shows the color of the wine at its best and keeps it chilled in a natural, clean and sustainable way. We have spent the last three years selecting the suitable glass materials, developing the design and style that fits rosé and white wine and to engineer a world double layer, insulating glass bottle that can be machine filled at high volume by wineries, or enjoyed by individual consumers.”

Oliver Conrad, the award-winning German designer behind Cooleo, added: “The Cooleo bottle is one of our most exciting product innovations. Our intention was to create a concept that combines traditional glassblowing with elegant, modern design. The result is a functional and beautiful product will bring a step change in wine marketing.”
