What can I say. Compared to supermarket prices, if you have Prime, this is an excellent price for this water, better than and cheaper than Perrier. Only drawback is that San Pellegrino is now owned by Nestle... but the water comes from Italy, not California.
We were buying the glass bottle version at the big-box store, but it is so heavy to tote home! I convinced my husband to try these, and see how great it is to have the case delivered to our door by Amazon! Yeah, we're both happy, and we don't have to lug the case of glass bottles home! Win-win!
UPDATE: According to the Customer Q&A section the manufacturer says this water is 5.3 to 5.6 or so. It says they add carbon dioxide for the carbonation, which becomes carbonic acid when dissolved in water. If 5.6 is correct, that makes this very acidic, which is not healthy at all--especially if you are eating acidic foods like we all do, like meats for instance. Major bummer. My husband loves this water and drinks it all day long. I'm going to try to encourage him to add an alkalizer to the water, something like "Ph10Max", or "AlkazOne", both of which are available on Amazon, and are unflavored drops you can use to alkalize the water. I'm not sure how well that addition will go with him or the water (don't even know yet if it will make the water go flat), but I'm going to see if he will try it.
I drink all kinds of carbonated beverages. Didn't realize I actually LOVE Pellegreno. The carbonation is different than traditonal factory soda pop type.
It's a tad less strong carbonation, but it is just right and does not disapte the moment you unseal the large bottle.
Oh my gawd, this is my very favorite of all the mineral waters. So much better than Perrier. I read somewhere in a newspaper health article that Pellegrino undergoes huge pressure for centuries, moving very slowly from one cavern to another. I may describe it poorly, but it is really good for you (I take it to help my bones among other things) and it tastes great.
I haven't spent a great deal of time trying to understand the issues, but there's pretty strong research that it's better for your health to eat alkaline foods - or rather foods that are alkalizing. The calcium and magnesium make this an alkaline food.
I LOVE This Stuff... Has The Purrfect Amount & Strength of Bubbles! And the large bottle stays bubbly through the 3 servings I drink over a day or 2! NO MORE Zypherhills (or Arrowhead or whoever, depending on where you live)! And if you Catch The Price at $13.98 (which I Always Do!), The Cost Cannot Be Beat! OH, And, Delivery To My Front Door For Prime FREE... It's The Ultimate! I Wish Prime included vacuuming At MY House!

Some people argue that water has no taste. Well, those people's taste buds are shot. Water tastes differently, according to the mineral content of different water brands.
San Pellegrino is one of my favorites (but not THE favorite). I have developed a preference of San Pellegrino over Perrier (which I used to be a fan of at one time.) These two are the most known brands sparkling water in the US. I've tried store brands in the US, but just save your money and drink filtered tap water instead.
For those who like San Pellegrino, try Gerolsteiner from Germany, or Apollinaris. My favorite is Rosport Blue - sparkling water from the great small country of Luxembourg. The carbonation is not as strong (smaller bubbles... if that makes sense). Unfortunately, those are harder to find (Gerolsteiner, Apollinaris) if not impossible (Rosport).
Really like this sparkling water. It is a crisp, unsweetened mineral water which quenches my thirst here in hot Texas. So nice to get away from sugar and artificial sweeteners. Plastic bottles are BIG.
First of all I want to say the following:
To all the 1 star reviewers that are unfairly venting their frustrations out, you are not being fair if the product lost its fizz or sustained damage in transport as the latter has nothing to do with the quality of product itself but more so with the knuckleheads who do the deliveries!
I ordered my first case here which is considerably cheaper -40%! than in my local grocery store Safeway in San Francisco!
I like the Pellegrino because it's a pleasant sparkling water, compared to others with a subtle faint hint of sweetness, with not to aggressive or harsh neither to weak carbonization, a very low-sodium very drinkable natural sparkling mineral water. the dissolved mineral contents is 854 mg/L. The full analysis as well as the story about Pellegrino you can read at their name sake website.
Again, I feel bad for my mailman. I'm really sorry, bro. I bet you hate me when you smile at me through the door.
Everything was perfect with the contents, but the box arrived broken and disheveled. That's what I get for making my mailman deliver a box of water to my doorstep instead of carting it up the stairs my damn self.
Quick 2 day prime delivery. Could use some cushion around the box for less movement of product box inside the large box on came in, to prevent what I’ve read a few reviewers say regarding damaged box or broken bottles. As you can see I have added 5 photos. The product date is good 02-2020 and nothing is damage or missing in my delivery so I’m happy! The price with taxes that I paid rounds out to be $1.40 a bottle. Thank you amazon!
