HEINEKEN MAGNUM JEROBOAM BOTTLES PREMIUM HEINEKE GLASSES IN IRELA UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WATCH AND COOLPACK To mark the Millennium celebrations of 2000, Heineken for the first time released the stylish Magnum and Jeroboam bottles - the 1.5 litre and 3 litre champagne- style bottles that are perfect for that very special occasion. Heineken again rolled out these premium off- premise bottles with a contemporary new design during the 2006 festive season. These new "Celebration" bottles, decorated with green firework bursts, were sold in 71 countries around the world, including Russia, the Netherlands and Canada. Heineken has also released a special premium Jeroboam bottle for high-end horeca outlets in countries such as Italy and the USA. In Italy, special 3-litre Jeroboams are now being sold in around 400 high-end outlets such as premium bars and night clubs. The bottle comes with matching branded glasses and a premium Heineken bucket of ice. "When we talk about bottles like the Magnum and Jeroboam, it's about more than 'just' selling volumes," says Mark van Iterson, Heineken Brand Design Manager. "It's also about strengthening the presence of the Heineken brand in very special occasions, such as Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations. Heineken deserves a place in these more exclusive, premium occasions." Since its initial launch in 2005, Heineken's David draught beer system has been well received by Irish beer drinkers, with more than 700 systems now in operation in bars, pubs and restaurants across the country. In order to boost the David's popularity in the restaurant sector, Heineken Ireland has developed a unique beer glass design - the prestigious David glass. "Tall, delicate and elegantly slim, these special beer glasses reflect the brand's premium qualities and have played an important role in positioning the Heineken brand alongside alternative beverages and other speciality beers," says Declan Farmer, Corporate Affairs Manager at Heineken Ireland. "At the same time, we have developed a premium paper coaster which will enhance the presentation of Heineken draught in Irish restaurants." PAGE 29 On Wednesday 23 May, the 2006/2007 UEFA Champions League final will be played in Athens, Greece. The match starts at 20:45 sharp (local time), so make sure you don't show up late.
