Meet The World’s First Milk Sommelier
Here at Friends of Glass, we can never resist a nice glass of milk poured from a cool glass milk bottle (of course)! It might surprise those of you who think that the doorstep delivery went out with black and white TV that every day, the UK’s 5 000 milkmen and women deliver to around 2.5 million homes. After all, who doesn’t like their milk delivered straight to their home or workplace? If you are as big a milk enthusiast as we are, you probably already know that glass helps keeps milk fresher for longer and ensures that it retains all its taste and goodness. That’s why when we came across Bas de Groot ,the world’s first milk sommelier, we were keen to learn more about his work.

A bottle isn’t just a bottle. A jar isn’t just a jar. Glass is much more than the ingredients it’s made from or the product it holds – it’s a guardian of taste, an infinite shape-shifter, and a creative canvas.
