Finlandia Vodka introduced a new bottle, dubbed “melting ice.

 As pottery-makers and glass blowers have known for thousands of years, the shape of a container is a powerful art form, says George Caplea, executive vice president of global business development for Constar Inc., Trevose, Pa.  

 Blue Ice Vodka, a 21st Century Spirits brand, recently updated its label.  

 Illycaffè and The Coca-Cola Co. increased the size of their Illy Issimo espresso-style beverages to give consumers an extra ounce in each bottle.  

 Karl Strauss Brewing Co. released its Windansea Wheat beer in bottles for the first time earlier this summer.
