Hosts serving water at shared meals
A 750ml glass bottle gives guests a bottle to share at the table. Tesco Groceries lists this size for San Pellegrino, while Highland Spring and Marks & Spencer document 750ml sparkling options.
Who is buying?
Offices and venues serving guests
Decide whether guests will share bottles or each receive an unopened one. Highland Spring documents 330ml and 750ml sparkling glass bottles; Perrier lists glass sizes of 20cl, 33cl and 75cl.
Regular buyers stocking up
If you mainly need several litres on hand, compare glass bottles with larger multipacks. Check the material and bottle count rather than assuming every sparkling-water multipack meets a glass-bottle preference.
What should you check?
Work out how the water will be served, then check the pack and storage requirements before placing a bulk order.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Serving size | Check the bottle volume and whether it suits sharing or individual service. Perrier lists 20cl, 33cl and 75cl glass bottles; Highland Spring lists 330ml and 750ml sparkling glass bottles. | For a meal, I want bottles guests can share. At a meeting, an unopened bottle for each person may be easier to serve. |
| Pack quantity | Check bottles per pack and total volume. Online Cash and Carry identifies a Perrier case of twelve 750ml bottles; a 750ml bottle listing is not necessarily a case. | I need enough bottles for the event without mistaking a single-bottle listing for a bulk pack. |
| Water preference | Check the product label or published mineral composition if it matters to your choice. Product descriptions alone do not establish which carbonation or mineral profile your guests will prefer. | If I am ordering a case for a group, I want to choose a water they are likely to enjoy. |
| Storage and handling | Allow space for the bottles. Tesco Groceries advises cool, dry storage for San Pellegrino away from sunlight and freezing; Marks & Spencer warns that its sparkling-water bottle is pressurised and should not be shaken. | Before delivery, I need somewhere suitable to keep the order and a way to move glass bottles without knocking them over. |
Common ordering mistakes
-
Assuming a bulk order is a case
A listed bottle size tells you the volume of each bottle, not how many will arrive. Retail listings include both individual bottles and identified cases.
Check the bottle count and total volume on the exact listing before calculating how many packs to order.
-
Choosing shared bottles for individual service
A 750ml bottle may leave partly used bottles when each guest expects an unopened serving. Smaller glass formats are documented by Perrier and Highland Spring.
Plan how many people each bottle will serve, then choose a size that fits the service arrangement.
-
Overlooking pressurised-glass handling
Marks & Spencer warns that its sparkling-water bottle is pressurised and should not be shaken. Tesco Groceries gives cool, dry storage instructions for its San Pellegrino glass bottle.
Read the exact product label, arrange stable storage and keep bottles where they will not be knocked over.
Brand and retailer references
These documented sizes help narrow the format to look for; a brand reference does not confirm that a particular pack is available for your order.

Frequently asked questions
Which glass-bottle size should I order for guests?
Choose a 750ml bottle if guests will share sparkling water at a table; choose smaller bottles if each person needs an unopened serving. Highland Spring documents 330ml and 750ml sparkling glass bottles, while Perrier lists 20cl, 33cl and 75cl glass sizes. Check the pack count separately from the bottle size.
How should I store sparkling-water glass bottles?
Follow the label on the bottles you buy and keep the order somewhere stable. Tesco Groceries advises storing its San Pellegrino 750ml glass bottle in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and freezing; Marks & Spencer warns not to shake its pressurised sparkling-water bottle. Marks & Spencer also advises refrigerating its product after opening and consuming it within three days.
Can empty glass bottles go in household recycling?
In England, Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs guidance says household waste collectors must, by default, collect glass among dry recyclable materials from 31 March 2026. Follow your local authority’s instructions for preparing and presenting bottles, especially after an event. Check the applicable local guidance elsewhere in the UK.
