Another alternative for non-drinkers is a bath gel that I found in Italy. It is a smooth 500 ml aluminum bottle with a screw top cap (sorry no cork here). It is sold with a brand that I believe is owned by Fabergé: J & E Atkinsons. The gel is called I Coloniali and is available in different scents. Cost about $15-20 a bottle.
