The move follows the enactment of Alcoholic Drinks Control Act 2010, which bans the use of sachets and plastic bottles in the sale, packaging or distribution of alcoholic drinks.
The act, known as the Mututho law, also prohibits the sale of alcohol in bottles of less than 200ml.
EABL sells the Smirnoff, Richot and Bond 7 spirit brands in glass bottles.
