The drink industry (also known as the beverage industry) produces drinks, in particular ready
to drink products. Drink production can vary greatly depending on the product being made.
ManufacturingDrinks.com explains that, "bottling facilities differ in the types of bottling lines they
operate and the types of products they can run". Drinks may
be canned or bottled (plastic or glass), hot-fill or cold-fill, and natural or conventional. Innovations
in the drink industry, catalysed by requests for non-alcoholic drinks, include: drink plants, drink
processing, and drink packing.[1]
