| Brand | Origin / positioning | Known for |
|---|---|---|
| Evian | French Alps natural mineral water | One of the most globally recognized premium still waters; strong luxury and hospitality presence. |
| FIJI Water | Artesian water from Fiji | Distinctive square bottle, soft taste profile, and premium lifestyle branding. |
| VOSS | Norwegian artesian water | Iconic cylindrical bottle design; popular in luxury hotels, events, and upscale settings. |
| S.Pellegrino | Italian sparkling mineral water | A classic fine-dining sparkling water brand. |
| Acqua Panna | Tuscan spring water | Widely associated with upscale restaurants and wine/food pairings. |
| Perrier | French sparkling mineral water | Iconic green bottle and premium sparkling-water heritage. |
| Gerolsteiner | German mineral water | High mineral content, especially popular among water enthusiasts. |

For the very top end—where the bottle itself is part of the product—brands often emphasize rarity, design, or exclusivity. Examples include:
