San Pellegrino, Italy's top food brand, was acquired by Nestlé, along with Perrier, and the two have been selling in China side by side, often comparing bubble types. In the product titles of many e-commerce platforms, Perrier and San Pellegrino are named sodas, which is just a means to increase their search volume, and neither is soda.
 
Different from Perrier water, San Pellegrino is artificially aerated mineral water, with an amount of free carbon dioxide as high as 5520mg/L, and the amount of bubbles is very sufficient, but because artificial inflation is difficult to maintain stability, the bubbles dissipate quickly, and the bubble feeling after the entrance is weak, and it is often used as an after-meal meal water to decompose greasy and ease the taste buds. For this reason, San Pellegrino often appears in the restaurant channel, which at first glance is positioned at the high-end end of Perrier, but in fact, the price is lower than Perrier after leaving the restaurant environment, and Perrier, which has a wider market, is more valued by Nestle.
 
San Pellegrino natural mineral water originates from the Italian Alps, and the snowmelt water and rainwater are filtered by limestone and volcanic rock for 30 years before flowing into the aquifer at a depth of 700 meters, and contains a very rich variety of minerals, including strontium and metasilicic acid, which exceed the Chinese national standard. In addition, the TDS above 900 is close to Xia Duo, and the calcium and magnesium content is also high, but the balance is not as good as Xia Duo, and the astringency is stronger than Xia Duo. Overall, San Pellegrino is rich on the palate and has an astringent finish, which is partially offset by the sensation of bubbles.
 
There are two types of aerated natural mineral water, glass bottles and plastic bottles, similar to green beer bottles, glass bottles of 500ml are sold for nearly 10 yuan, and plastic bottles are nearly half cheaper.
