   Why does everything taste better in glass bottles?
   Such as Milk, Soda, Juice, Beer, Wine etc. Or is it just all in my head?

   it’s possible there is some kind of taste transference in plastic bottles that you wouldn’t get with glass. i agree with you, it tastes better. i miss glass coke bottles.

   plastic has a taste and smell. they say that never to reuse plastic because you can not truly get it clean, and bacteria free

   I have to agree. Perhaps the cans allow a slight metallic taste to come through and the glass has no such taste effect. I occasionaly buy the glass bottle Diet Dr Pepper when I can find it in the store, but it is more expensive.

   Part of it is the heating and cooling. Many things are heated after they are bottled or canned. The metal allows this to be done very fast, while the glass requires a slower heating and cooling. I always thougth that was the reason.

   Glass is non-porous. Porous containers would have small cavities with tastes/odors hidden within.

   Because glass is truly non-porus and absolutely none of it gets to the product that’s in it. That was a great question. I’ve always thought that everything taste better in glass. Especially beer in the bottle. Plastics are getting alot closer to working this problem out but it still doesn’t compare to glass.

   I cannot explain the exact physics behind this, but from what I do know, all cans are coated to prevent the acids or alkalides from reacting with the metal container. However, ions leach through the protective coating and electrolysis does take place, at a substantially reduced rate. Sort of like a battery. This results in that metallic taste. Glass is neutral and does not react with the the contents. Bottom line: glass tastes best…Period.

    Along with all the other answers — it seems they stay colder, and ergo yummier, in a well-chilled glass bottle.
