Are capped glass bottles still commonplace in other countries?

Around here (Norway, that is), aluminum cans and plastic bottles (with a screw cap) has taken over more or less completely. There is no longer a deposit on glass bottles, but rather a heavy bottle tax: This year it is NOK 6.28 per packaging unit (i.e. bottle), around 60 cents. If a significant fraction of the bottles are returned to collect the deposit, the tax is reduced; if 95% is returned, the tax is reduced to zero. But as the machines no longer accept glass bottles, they are not returned. So glass bottles are used only for beverages where NOK 6.28 is a tiny fraction of the total price, like medium to high class wine and spirits. (Cheap wine is either BagInBox or plastic bottles.)

A few of the highbrow micro breweries still deliver some of their top lines in glass bottles - but if I told you the price of a single bottle of those brands, you wouldn't believe me Smile | :)
