GPI Announces the 2023 Clear Choice Awards Winners
The Glass Packaging Institute has announced the winners of the 2023 Clear Choice Awards, which recognize North America’s top brands and manufacturers creating remarkable glass product designs that form dynamic consumer experiences.
The 2023 CCA winners (listed by both brand and glass container manufacturer) for each category are:
Beer, Cider & Flavoured Alcoholic Beverages: Buenavida Hard Seltzers made by O-I Glass. The shape and colour of the glass bottle draws from the look of popular Mexican sodas, and the artwork is inspired by the Calaveras (sugar skulls) that are a common sight on el Día de los Muertos, as well as Talavera tiles moulded into the design.
Food: Carbone Fine Food Pasta Sauces made by Ardagh Glass Packaging. This jar has a white label printed on high quality linen paper to replicate the restaurant menu at Carbone’s flagship restaurant where the iconic sauce is served.
Spirits: Castle & Key Restoration Rye Dark Label made by Saverglass. The bottle is an expression of the distillery and with its modern design of historic elements, this premium durable glass is perfect for patiently ageing the premium whiskey inside.
Wine: Ménage à Trois Sweet Collection made by O-I Glass. These ornately carved glass bottles were designed to stand out on the shelf in the same way the Sweet Collection wines stand out on the palate.
Non-Alcoholic Beverages: Betty Buzz made by O-I Glass. This Betty Buzz flagship glass bottle pays homage to the vintage design of the Golden Age of Flight in the early 20th century.
Cosmetics, Fragrances & Pharmaceuticals: OUI Juicy Couture Play made by Verescence. This bottle was specifically designed with a deep push-up and inward dome that embodies a luxurious feel.
Innovation: Ball Nesting Jars made by Ardagh Glass Packaging. These Nesting Jars are an example of Ball's knack for innovation while simultaneously staying true to its roots.
Sustainability: In Good Taste California Wine Mixer made by Ardagh Glass Packaging. In Good Taste decided to forgo importing its products from overseas and has instead moved to producing them domestically, dramatically cutting down emissions.
Global Member Container: Sábado Gin by Sabbatical Distillery made by Verallia USA . The subtly intricate design of this glass bottle reflects the complexity of the spirit inside, with a pattern that reveals itself over time and invites consumers along for the journey.
