Perrier is known for its carbonation and its distinctive green bottle. Perrier was part of the Perrier Vittel Group SA, which became Nestlé Waters France after the acquisition of the company by Nestlé in 1992.

Since at least 2019, Perrier water is no longer "reinforced with gas from the source" but "w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
