Did this bottle appointed on the recommendation of American friends and I am extremely pleased. The bottle is virtually unbreakable. (Last week a lot of me on horseback from his horse on the asphalt and it has only 2 scratches. Another plus point is that you sometimes can forget a drink in it such as fruit and the bottle to rinse once again like new. It transmits no smells and colors. Also Carbonated beverages can be in great take. No overcrowded unless you fill the bottle up to the 1 liter mark. It is worth it!
