Grand Marnier unveils Christmas bottle

August 18, 2009 Comments Off

Grand Marnier has opted for a striking red lacquer for this year’s limited-edition bottle for Christmas

The “Irresistible” bottle, which has been designed by a French design agency, has been coated in a red lacquer shell that feels silky to the touch.

A limited run of 1,000 of the bottles will be available from top retailers including Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Fortnum & Mason and Harrods and in bars and hotels.

This marks the seventh year of Grand Marnier’s limited edition bottles, which have included bottles wrapped in material, flocking and a furry boa.

The bottle shape itself has not changed since it was created by Louis-Alexander Lapostolle in 1880 and the company is still run by his heirs.

Over 90% of Grand Marnier is sold outside of France, where it was originally created, in over 150 countries.
