Contract Bottling & Canning

We have specialists throughout the business to support on your project, whether that be technical, NPD, design, product management, production or supply chain.

What we pack

Wine

We have been bottling wine for our customers since 1964. We offer an end-to-end service from sourcing wine and dry goods, through packing to warehousing and distribution. We are able to pack using both screwcap and cork closures, and fill bottles, cans and bag-in-box, all in a range of formats and sizes.

Spirits

Spirits are an increasingly important category for us and we continue to invest in our capabilities to meet our customer’ needs. We can pack spirits in bottles ranging from 5cl to 3L. We do this across five production lines, including an innovation line that can handle smaller batch runs and bespoke packaging.

Non-alcoholic

We started packing non-alcoholic wines and spirits in 2019 and are now responsible for developing and bottling many of the market’s leading brands. We blend and bottle non-alcoholic versions of gin, whisky, rum and tequila as well as still and sparkling wines using our world-class technical controls to ensure the highest possible quality assurance standards.

RTDs

RTDs are one of the fastest growing drinks categories in the UK and we bottle and can products for many leading brand owners, including cocktails, mixed drinks and wine-based products, supporting them with liquid development and technical expertise throughout the process.

Our Capabilities

Bottling

We have 8 bottling lines at Kingsland Drinks, covering wines, spirits, low and no alcohol and made wines. Bottles sizes range from 5cl to 3L, with various bottle, closure and outer case options.

Canning

Our canning line has the capability to produce 150ml, 187ml, 200ml and 250ml cans across various case sizes. We are able to can all categories of drinks including cocktails, pre-mix spirits, wines and no-and-low alcohol. We can pack both printed and labelled cans, giving flexibility on minimum runs and have the ability to carbonate or add nitrogen to drinks before canning.

Bag-in-box

Our bag-in-box line can produce still wine in 1.5L, 2.25L, 3L and 10L Bag-in-Box formats. We have also worked with our bag suppliers to improve recyclability of the bags, and continue to do so, with an aim to reach at home recycling for all components by 2025.

Blending

We have an on site winery – a bespoke facility with the capability to ferment and blend alcoholic and non-alcoholic products.

Sparkling

Our carbonation line can add a sparkle to a range of low and standard strength wine and wine blends at varying CO2 levels, in 75cl bottles with cork and cage or screwcap.

Liquid Development

Our NPD team have a track record of innovation across all categories, specialising in spirits, no-and-low alcohol and ready to drink products such as cocktails, gin and tonics, wine spritzes and hard seltzers. The team can create best-in-class liquids from scratch or match existing formulas as required.

Technical Expertise

We have fully equipped chemical analysis & microbiological laboratories and our technical team ensure your liquid is in perfect condition. We also pride ourselves on our wine treatment and recovery capabilities which means if wine arrives out of specification from across the world, we are able to treat and recover to save a lot of unnecessary expense and environmental impact.

Our Creative Team are on hand to help with any of your design needs, and our Product Management Team manage all elements of packaging from design to conception to ensure your final product is exactly as you imagined, or better.
