The hermetic glass bottle in two lines
This is the 100 millilitre hermetic glass bottle, with a gasket and a wire clip top: the small format for what you make in quantity and use in small amounts.
Who it is for
For anyone making infusions and tinctures. Those preparations stand still for days or weeks, and over that time the one thing that spoils them is the air that gets in every time they are opened.
A seal protects what leaves first
The volatile aromatics. They are the light compounds that give an infusion its scent, and they are also the first to go from a bottle opened and badly closed again: after two weeks the colour is still there and the bitterness is still there, but what you could smell has gone. The gasket on a hermetic glass bottle does exactly that job, and on something stable like a syrup it would not be needed.

Clip top or screw cap
The clip top holds the volatile aromatics and earns its place on infusions and tinctures. A screw cap is enough on syrups and stable preparations, and it opens faster with one hand. The difference is not the quality of the bottle but how often it gets opened: on something you touch ten times a night the wire clip becomes a nuisance, on something opened once a week it is protection.
One hundred millilitres, and why that is the right size
Because a house infusion has no preservatives and its life is measured in weeks. In a large format a slow preparation stays open too long and turns before it runs out; in a 100ml hermetic glass bottle it is finished while it is still good. The price is making it more often, which on a fresh product is a gain rather than extra work.
Why glass and not plastic
Because glass is inert. A high strength alcoholic infusion attacks certain plastics and pulls out what is in them, and on a tincture that stands for a month that transfer shows. Glass gives nothing away and holds nothing back, so the same bottle can go from a spice infusion to a citrus one without carrying the last one with it.
The label, which matters more than the bottle
Name of the preparation and date, on every bottle. Those two pieces of information look obvious until there are six identical bottles in a row holding dark liquids and nobody remembers which one was made three weeks ago. A strip of paper tape and a marker will do, as long as the date is the one you filled it, not the one you bought it.
Care
Hand wash in hot water and dry completely before filling. Check the gasket now and then: once it hardens or takes a mark the seal is no longer a seal, and the bottle has become an ordinary one with a lid. Gaskets can be replaced, and it pays to do it before finding out that an infusion has oxidised.
FAQ
How much does the hermetic glass bottle hold? One hundred millilitres.
When is a clip top better than a screw cap? On infusions and tinctures, meaning anything that stands still for a long time.
What is it made from? Glass, which is inert and gives nothing to alcoholic preparations.
Why the small size? Because a preparation without preservatives runs out before it turns.
Should it be labelled? Yes, with the name and the filling date: six dark bottles look alike.
Can the gasket be replaced? Yes, and it should be done once it hardens, before the seal goes.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
