Raise a Glass for World Milk Day
Happy World Milk Day to all Friends of Glass.
Last year this day was celebrated in over 40 countries, which shows that milk is a global food and that it is part of most diets and cultures. Whether milk is a breakfast drink that goes with your porridge or tea in the morning or just in a glass on its own.

Even dairy farms agree that glass is the best option for storing milk:
