Glass Water Bottle - Love & Gratitude cork sleeve • water restructuring • programmed glass • 0.5 l
Glass Water Bottle - Love & Gratitude (500 ml) is not an ordinary glass bottle. The key difference lies in the material: FLASKA uses “programmed” glass technology Glass & Vibe, which the manufacturer associates with the perception of smoother, “tuned” water (they recommend waiting 5 minutes and gently shaking the water).
In practice, users most often describe a smoother, more balanced taste, even with tap water – and this is precisely why FLASKA is priced differently from standard glass bottles. The cork sleeve with the Love & Gratitude motif is made from a natural material, feels pleasant to the touch and gives the bottle a simple, natural look; it is often chosen by those who place greater emphasis on the sustainability of the materials used. The wide mouth makes filling and hand cleaning easier, and the wooden cap ensures secure closure. The bottle is not dishwasher safe.
Glass Water Bottle - Love & Gratitude – Flaska
Glass water bottle by Flaska made from programmed glass is designed for use at home, in the office and while travelling as a glass alternative to everyday bottles. The manufacturer links this technology with the perception of a smoother, more balanced taste of water.
European glass is chemically stable and naturally free from substances such as bisphenol A (chemicals known from some plastics), so it doesn’t retain odours or flavours. The cork sleeve with the “Love & Gratitude” motif is made from a natural material, feels pleasant to the touch, supports grip and gives the bottle a subtle, natural look.
The manufacturer describes TPS technology (programming silicon in glass) as a method of storing a specific pattern in the glass associated with “tuning the structure of water”, which they compare to spring water. Users often perceive the water as softer and more balanced in taste compared to ordinary tap water.
A reusable glass bottle helps reduce single-use packaging both at home and when travelling or at work. The product is made in the EU, with an emphasis on material quality and long lifespan.

How are Flaska bottles different from “ordinary” bottles?
Compared to plastic bottles, Flaska brings the advantages of glass: it is chemically stable, so it doesn’t retain odours or flavours and doesn’t absorb colour from drinks.
Glass is also naturally BPA-free and free from plasticisers, while plastic may, over long-term use, pick up odours or release substances into the drink.
From a hygiene perspective, glass is easy to clean and can handle hot water and thorough brushing without forming a surface film. Plastic, on the other hand, is easier to scratch, and micro-cracks can worsen cleanability and hygiene over time.
Over its lifecycle, a glass bottle handled with care has a long lifespan and is fully recyclable, which reduces the need for single-use packaging. Plastic may be lighter, but typically has a shorter usable life and keeps flavour neutrality worse after prolonged use.
In practice, glass is heavier and more fragile, but Flaska balances this with accessories. There are cork and neoprene sleeves available, and bottles come in several sizes, making it easy to choose a version for work, sport, travel or home serving.
Who are Flaska bottles for, and where can you use them?
Bottles by Flaska are suitable for an everyday hydration routine at home, in the office, at school and during meetings. They work great for sport and leisure time – for the gym, yoga, hiking and cycling. Flaska also offers bottles for kids, helping them keep up a regular drinking routine at school and clubs.
They are practical for travel and everyday commuting – in a backpack or car, on a trip or around the city. You can easily refill the bottle at water fountains or at home before you leave, so you have water always within reach.
Flaska bottles are made in a range of designs with an integrated sleeve, so you can choose a style that matches your taste and preferences. The range includes versions with cork, neoprene and silicone sleeves, in various colours and motifs for kids and adults.
The sleeve improves grip and enhances the look of the bottle; neoprene sleeves are also removable and washable, while cork and silicone sleeves can be easily removed and wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Why choose Flaska
Flaska bottles are reusable glass bottles that keep water taste-neutral and free from unwanted odours. Glass is inert and naturally BPA-free, so it doesn’t react with the drink and doesn’t release anything into it.
Part of the brand’s identity is also the approach the manufacturer calls “programmed glass” – their own way of focusing on quality and the perception of water.
Flaska bottles fit easily into everyday hydration at work, at home, while studying and on the go. Thanks to the comfortable opening and quality cap, they are easy to clean and pleasant to drink from.
The brand offers several bottle sizes and different design variants with cork, neoprene or silicone sleeves. Sleeves improve grip and enhance the look of the bottle; neoprene sleeves are also removable and washable, while cork and silicone sleeves can be easily removed and cleaned.
For a long lifespan, hand washing with a mild detergent and regular airing of the cap are recommended. Reusing a glass bottle helps reduce single-use plastic packaging.

Materials & craftsmanship
Bottle body is made from thick-walled European glass (so-called programmed TPS glass), which is chemically stable and naturally free from bisphenol A and plasticisers. During production, a vibrational program is embedded into the glass, intended to affect the internal arrangement of water; the cork sleeve carries the “Love & Gratitude” motif (cosmogram).
Sleeve is made from a handcrafted cork material that feels pleasant to the touch, supports grip and gives the bottle a natural, subtle look. The cap is wooden with a seal for a reliable bottle closure. All components intended to be in contact with water meet standard food-contact requirements.
Each piece goes through manual assembly and inspection. To preserve appearance and function, the manufacturer recommends hand washing and avoiding the dishwasher, microwave and sudden temperature shocks.
Use and care
- Fill the Flaska bottle with tap water, wait about 5 minutes, then briefly stir the water; Glass & Vibe technology is presented as working with water structuring.
- For a reliable seal, place and firmly screw on the wooden cap to prevent spills.
- Clean the bottle by hand using a soft brush and a mild dishwashing detergent.
- Do not use a dishwasher; wash by hand only and avoid microwaving and sudden temperature shocks.

FAQ
What is Glass & Vibe technology and how should I use the bottle?
The manufacturer states that the glass contains a vibrational program that is meant to “tune” the water in about 5 minutes. Steps: fill the bottle, wait, gently swirl the water and drink. Treat this as a brand claim, not a health effect.
Is Flaska BPA-free and what materials is it made from?
Yes. Glass is naturally BPA-free and free from plasticisers and is inert (it doesn’t react with beverages). The accessories mainly include cork and neoprene sleeves for protection and comfortable carrying.
Can I wash the bottle in a dishwasher?
Not recommended. Care is hand wash only – use a soft brush and a mild detergent. This helps the bottle and sleeve keep a longer lifespan.
What about hot water – can I pour hot drinks into the bottle?
Hot drinks may reduce the declared “structuring” effect. Recommendation: prepare the hot drink separately and let it cool down, or use dedicated cups/glasses for hot beverages (the “tuning” information is a manufacturer’s claim).
How durable is the bottle and what should I avoid?
Glass is robust, but it is still a fragile material. We recommend a protective sleeve, avoiding drops and impacts, not using it in a microwave, and avoiding extreme temperature shocks.
What sizes and accessories are available?
The brand offers several bottle sizes and a wide range of accessories. You can choose replaceable sleeves (cork, neoprene), spare caps and other everyday add-ons.

Zakladatel slovinské značky Flaska, Maks Vrečko, je skutečný inovátor. Na nápad, který za Flaskou stojí, přišel při pěstování jahod. Pomáhal totiž manželce na jejich rodinné farmě. Protože ho typické zemědělství nezajímalo a klasické zemědělské technologie moc neznal, začal se zajímat o různé netradiční přístupy. V roce 2003 se díky tomu seznámil s procesem restrukturalizace vody. Rozhodl se provést vlastní pokus - polovinu pole zaléval restrukturalizovanou vodou a druhou polovinu normální vodou.
Nějakou dobu nebyly patrné žádné výrazné rozdíly, ale když nastal čas sklizně, rychle se ukázalo, že voda hrála důležitou roli. Jahody zalévané restrukturalizovanou vodou byly znatelně pevnější. Trvanlivost plodů se prodloužila a úroda na části pole, která byla zalévaná restrukturalizovanou vodou, byla o 18,1 % vydatnější. Na konci sezóny byly rostliny v této části výsadby vitálnější a méně napadené chorobami.
V následujících letech pak Maks v experimentech s restrukturalizovanou vodou pokračoval. Ze skeptika se stal nadšencem této technologie, která je známá již téměř 90 let, od objevů Viktora Schaubergera, průkopníka strukturování vody. Maks říká, že když nad tím zpětně přemýšlí, mělo to být naprosto logické, že zlepšení struktury vody povede i ke zlepšení jahod, vzhledem k tomu, že 89 % plodu jahod je tvořeno vodou. V té době ho to prý ale vůbec nenapadlo.
K údivu mnohých Maks v roce 2009 přestal pěstovat jahody. Měly vynikající kvalitu, odbyt byl skvělý a všichni byli spokojeni. Ale život mu říkal, že se musí poohlédnout po nových výzvách. Začal nabízet technologii strukturování vody v zemědělství. Přes vynikající výsledky testů (při pěstování ovoce, zeleniny, výrobě mléka, chovu drůbeže atd.) nebyl trh ještě připraven přijmout "neviditelnou" technologii, přestože její výsledky byly zcela zřejmé.
Po náročném roce a půl dostal nápad implementovat technologii strukturování vody do lahve pro každodenní použití. V listopadu 2009 byla spuštěna testovací série a po kladném ohlasu byla zahájena skutečná výroba. A tak se zrodila - Flaska! Na slovinský trh vstoupila 10. března 2010.
Věci se začaly hýbat kupředu rychlostí blesku - tým Flasky se rozrůstal, a brzy uváděli na trh nové modely a velikosti lahví a expandovali na nové světové trhy. Vypadá to jako pohádka, ale v reálném životě Flasku také čekaly těžké časy, zejména v letech 2012 až 2014. Toto období překonali jen díky společné práci a spoustě pozitivní energie všech zaměstnanců a partnerů. V následujících letech pak vyvinuli další naprogramované výrobky - džbán Vodan, Doggy Flasku pro psy a sklenici na pití Sirius.
Flaska nadále zdokonaluje proces restrukturalizace vody TPS. Jejich filozofie restrukturalizace vody se liší od většiny ostatních, které tuto technologii nabízejí. Pomáhají vodě vrátit se k její pramenité struktuře. Společnost Flaska zastává názor, že všichni obyvatelé naší planety by měli pít vodu co nejlepší kvality. Výrobou Flasky tak nejen zvyšují obecné povědomí o pití kvalitní vody, ale přispívají ke snižování vytváření plastového odpadu jednorázovými plastovými lahvemi.
Flaska je důkazem toho, že máme moc měnit svět prakticky každým douškem vody, kapku po kapce.
