A set of four stamps titled Local Beverages is being issued by Maltapost, designed by Daniel Spiteri.

MaltaPost said that the designs of this Malta set are decidedly retro with four bottles taking centre stage against a flatly rendered, yet colourful, local backdrop.

As a member of SEPAC (Small European Postal Administration Cooperation) MaltaPost said that these new stamps are in keeping with its annual tradition of a joint stamp issue.

The stamps will be issued in a sheet of 10 stamps, with each stamp measuring 31mm x 44mm, with a comb perforation of 13.9 x 14.0 and bearing the Maltese Cross watermark.

The sheets measure 185mm x 118mm and were produced by Printex Ltd in the offset process. The issue consists of 500,000 of the €0.37 stamp, 100,000 of the €0.57 stamp, 300,000 of the €1.40 stamp and 60,000 of the €2.00 stamp.

These stamps will be available from all Post Offices in Malta and Gozo from Tuesday, the 13th of September.
