Not only do professional-quality bottles keep oil, vinegar and drinks sealed and in top condition, they also make a beautiful package when giving away your creations as gifts.

Headcook and Bottlewasher stocks a huge variety of preserving bottles for all kinds of liquids, from the clip-topped Roma bottles in three different sizes to the elegant square corked preserving bottle for your finest cooking oils.

For those who like to create their own liqueurs in the kitchen, such as sloe gin, the Padova flat flask glass bottle comes in both 500ml and 200ml varieties, can be boiled on the hob for sterilisation and makes a great container for a Christmas present.

Additionally, 500ml screw top glass bottles for holding mineral water, juice or smoothies are available for just £1.30 each from Headcook and Bottlewasher.
