Nostalgia for milk bottles seesdairy producer increase its sales

Nostalgia for glass milk bottles has seen Adare Farm Fresh Country Milk significantly increase sales of its farmhouse milk.

More than 20 years after the glass bottle ceded retail space to the plastic model, the Limerick-based dairy producer is now enjoying strong sales. The glass-bottled Adare product is now available in five Dunnes Stores outlets in Leinster, increasing sales since its glass bottle launch last October.

Limerick farmer Tommy Relihan has agreed a deal with Dunnes Stores that will see his glass-bottled Adare milk available at retail outlets in Cornellscourt, Leopardstown, Beacon Court and Tallaght, and at Newbridge in Co Kildare.
