Never seen drinks sold in screw-on-cap aluminium bottles. In what country or what type of drinks use them?

In Japan they are very common for canned coffee, I dunno if it's because plastic bottles are unsuitable for warm drinks or something? (the drinks are kept hot ready to drink in the vending machine/store aisle)

Seen them in probably every convenience store in South Korea and some other East/South East Asian countries. Coffee, juice.

Not sure if they have the inner plastic container aluminium cans have.
