San Pellegrino Sparkling Mineral Water 8 oz — Case of 24, Glass

Eight ounces is a small pour, and San Pellegrino suits it well, since a little of this water goes a long way. It comes from thermal springs at San Pellegrino Terme in the Lombardy Alps and is strongly mineral, 970 mg/L in dissolved solids with sulfate, calcium and bicarbonate in front.

The taste is full and slightly saline, carried by a lively, persistent bubble. The compact 8 oz glass bottle is the sensible choice where a larger one would go to waste: a light lunch, an espresso and a sparkling water after dinner, a mixer at the home bar. Hotels use small bottles for minibars and turndown, restaurants for single diners and bar service, and event planners for welcome trays at a wedding or gala.

The 8 oz bottles come in a case of 24, an easy quantity to keep in the fridge door or behind the bar.
