Why is packaged liquor always sold in glass bottles instead of plastic?

I just bought some Black Velvet in a plastic bottle.

Hey, OP, you can now get wine packed in plastic *and* cardboard!

OP...

I remember this question being asked in one of those IMPONDERABLE books by David Feldman.

I don't recall the explanation, but the accompanying cartoon was a busload of kids singing at the top of their lungs

[quote]♪ "99 plastic bottles of beer on the wall, 99 plastic bottles of beer, if one should fall, it wouldn't break at all, and there still would be 99 plastic bottles of beer on the wall! 99 plastic bottles of beer..." ♫

Meanwhile, the bus driver looked in agony. 😂

Cuervo Silver and Cuervo Gold are both sold in plastic bottles.

R)6 But is it plastic plastic?

Not always. I've seen cheap vodka sold in plastic bottles.

Plastic is trashy.

I miss corks

It's because glass bottles provide for long term impermeability and don't allow air or moisture to get inside the bottle as plastic bottles would.
