Abstract: The present invention relates to a glass bottle coated with a multi-layer protective film comprising high polymer substances, and a method for producing such a coated glass bottle. More particularly, the invention is concerned with a glass bottle designed for containing carbonated beverages such as soft drinks or beer, wherein the beverages must be maintained under pressurized conditions, said bottle being coated on its outer wall by spraying or otherwise applying a plurality of protective films. Still more particularly, the present invention is directed to a "return-type" glass bottle for carbonated beverages such as soft drinks and beer, wherein the glass bottles are designed for repeated use, each cycle of which requires washing and sterilizing steps prior to filling.
