Prefer Glass Water Bottles? Check Out These Great Options

The trend away from plastic bottles and towards glass bottles to handle our daily hydration needs is definitely on the up.

The environmental benefit of reusable glass over plastic is not the only reason glass water bottles are so popular.

Refilling your bottle at home is far cheaper than buying a new plastic one every day. Also, drinking from glass bottles keeps you healthier because you're staying away from the chemicals found in some plastics, including BPS, BPA, and phthalates.

While this is certainly a matter of personal preference, glass bottle enthusiasts also insist that water tastes better out of glass bottles.

We can hear people who are new to the idea of carrying a glass water bottle around asking, "That's great, but won't it break?". The short answer is probably not.

Glass manufacturing has come a long way, and high-quality glass bottles are inherently stronger than they used to be. Also, they normally come with a protective covering, which significantly reduces the risk of breakage.

We've put together a list of hot-trending options in this latest craze for reusable glass water bottles. We hope the craze is here to stay!
