Start with what the case actually contains
A case of six means six 70cl bottles of Au Vodka Pineapple Crush, a flavoured spirit drink at 35.2% ABV. Each bottle combines the brand's five-times distilled vodka with sweet pineapple flavour. That is the full picture from the supplied product information, so plan your serving and storage around those facts rather than assumptions about additives, shelf life or dietary suitability.
Because the case is six full bottles, storage is really about keeping the unopened ones in good condition until you are ready to serve them. The practical moves below cover chilling, mixing and bottle handling without inventing rules the label does not give.
The numbers that shape your serving plan

Au Vodka Pineapple Crush Case of 6: Flavoured Spirit Drink – 35.2% ABV / 70cl The strength and bottle size tell you this is a sipping or mixing spirit, not a low-alcohol drink; plan portions and mixers accordingly.

Au Vodka Pineapple Crush Case of 6: What's Included: 6x Au Vodka Pineapple Crush 70cl Six bottles is a party-sized or long-term supply, so storage space and rotation matter from day one.
How to store an unopened case
- Keep bottles upright and out of direct sunlight: Light and heat are the usual enemies of flavoured spirits. A cool, dark cupboard or pantry shelf keeps the bottles in the best condition until you open them.
- Store the case away from strong odours: Spirits can pick up surrounding smells over time. Keep the case away from cleaning products, spices or anything strongly scented.
- Chill only what you plan to serve: There is no supplied instruction to refrigerate the whole case. Chilling bottle by bottle avoids taking up fridge space and keeps the rest at a stable temperature.
- Rotate older bottles to the front: If you buy more than one case over time, use the older bottles first. The supplied information does not give a shelf life, so treat rotation as good practice rather than a hard rule.
What the label does not tell you about shelf life
The product information supplied here does not state a shelf life, an opened-bottle keeping time or storage temperature. That is a genuine gap, not a hidden instruction. If you need a definitive answer for a bottle you have had for a while, check the packaging or contact the retailer rather than relying on guesswork.
In practice, keep opened bottles tightly capped, upright and in a cool dark place, and finish them within a sensible window for flavour. The pineapple character is the point of this bottle, so treat a long-neglected open bottle as a mixing candidate rather than a sipping one.
Serving Pineapple Crush: a simple routine
- Chill the bottle before pouring: A cold bottle keeps the pineapple flavour crisp. Put the bottle in the fridge a few hours ahead rather than adding ice to the whole bottle.
- Pour over ice into a sturdy glass: Ice dilutes as it melts, so pour a modest measure and top up as you go. The 35.2% ABV spirit stands up to a little dilution.
- Choose a mixer that complements pineapple: Lemonade, soda or ginger ale are natural partners for pineapple. Taste as you go and adjust the ratio to your preference rather than following a fixed recipe.
- Cap the bottle immediately after pouring: Recapping keeps the aroma in and stops the spirit picking up fridge odours. Return it to the cool, dark spot you set aside.
Serving styles and what each one asks of you
- Neat or over ice: Best for tasting the pineapple flavour clearly. Use a small measure and sip slowly; the 35.2% ABV is higher than a ready-to-drink can.
- With lemonade or soda: Lengthens the drink and suits a crowd. Keep the ratio modest so the pineapple does not disappear.
- In a batched pitcher: Practical for a party with six bottles on hand. Mix in the pitcher, not the bottle, and keep the pitcher chilled.
Buying and delivery limits to know before you order
The supplied product information states that you must be of legal drinking age to purchase and that delivery is to UK addresses only. Those are the two hard limits to check before you commit to a case. The catalog price shown is USD 132.26 against a comparison price of USD 209.94, so the case format is the value play if you know you will get through six bottles.
If you are buying as a gift, remember that the recipient also needs to be of legal drinking age, and the UK-only delivery rule applies to wherever the case is going.
