Beer bottles are doing fine, but pretty much everything else (bottled water, soft drinks) went away to be replaced by single use. You can still do a beer Club

  The beer bottle system has also come under pressure. It used to be that most beer was sold locally, and that most breweries used the same bottles anyway. Now, they choices have expanded and you might by a bavarian beer in Hamburg. And many have started to use individually styled bottles to strengthen their brand. These go to a local plant where, more often than not, they're now destroyed and recycled instead of returned to their origin to be reused.

    [in old man's voice] I swear Augustiner tasted so much better when you could only get it in Bavaria.
