Choose a 24-can case if separate, chilled servings are the reason for buying cans and you have room to store the case; Amazon UK lists a Perrier 24 x 330ml case as one example. If your household usually shares sparkling water at meals, compare the total volume of bottled multipacks instead: Tesco and Sainsbury’s list larger bottle formats, though bottles will not meet a can-only preference. For a smaller can pack, check its total volume and ingredients before deciding whether it will last until your next shop.
If several people take sparkling water from the fridge at different times, a can gives each person a separate serving. Amazon UK lists Perrier in a 24 x 330ml case; check whether that case size fits your cupboard and fridge space.
If most of the water is poured at family meals, total volume may matter more than individual containers. Tesco lists sparkling-water bottles in 12 x 500ml and 6 x 2L formats, while Sainsbury’s lists 12 x 500ml and 4 x 2L formats.
Check the product name and ingredients rather than relying on the word “sparkling”. Perrier and S.Pellegrino describe plain carbonated mineral water, while M&S says its canned Sparkling British Apple Spring Water contains spring water and apple juice.
Start with how your household serves the water, then compare total litres and check that the ingredients match the drink you intended to buy.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Individual servings | Check the can size, number of cans and space needed to store a full case. Amazon UK lists a Perrier case of 24 x 330ml cans. | I want several people to be able to take a separate can without opening a shared bottle. |
| Total volume | Multiply the container size by the pack count: 24 x 330ml is 7.92 litres, while 12 x 500ml is 6 litres. Tesco and Sainsbury’s also list larger bottled multipacks. | If sparkling water is poured throughout family meals, I need enough litres to last until the next shop, whether they come in cans or bottles. |
| Plain or flavoured | Read the exact name and ingredients, especially for canned drinks described as sparkling water. M&S says its Sparkling British Apple Spring Water contains apple juice. | For plain sparkling water, I do not want to pick up a juice-containing or flavoured drink by mistake. |
| Recycling at home | Check your local council’s instructions for collecting and preparing empty cans. Do not assume collection instructions are identical across the UK. | A family-sized case leaves several empty cans, so I need to know which household collection they belong in. |
A canned sparkling drink may contain juice or flavourings. M&S describes its Sparkling British Apple Spring Water as containing both spring water and apple juice.
Read the product name and ingredients if plain sparkling water is what your household wants.
A 24 x 330ml can case contains 7.92 litres, whereas a 12 x 500ml bottle pack contains 6 litres. Pack counts alone do not tell you how much water you are taking home.
Calculate total litres, then decide whether separate servings or a shared bottle better fits how your family drinks it.
The Perrier 24-can case listed by Amazon UK was offered through a third-party seller, and a separate retailer page marked that format as backordered. Neither listing establishes what will be available when you shop.
Check the seller, pack details, stock status and delivery arrangements on the product page before ordering a case.
Household collection instructions can differ by address, including how empty cans should be prepared.
Follow your local council’s instructions for metal packaging rather than assuming another area’s guidance applies.
These formats help distinguish individual cans from larger bottled multipacks; a brand’s wider range does not establish the contents of a particular pack.
Perrier describes its plain carbonated mineral water in a can format, and Amazon UK lists a 24 x 330ml case.
S.Pellegrino’s product page describes a 330ml sleek can of sparkling natural mineral water.
Highland Spring’s sparkling-water page lists bottles, including a 6 x 1L multipack.
Tesco Groceries lists own-label sparkling mineral water in bottle multipacks alongside other sparkling-water products.
Sainsbury’s lists own-label sparkling spring water in bottled multipacks.
The M&S sparkling-water range includes mineral-water bottles and flavoured products.
These can multipacks offer different container sizes and pack counts for a family shop. Compare the total litres with the number of separate servings your household needs.

Check your local council’s household collection instructions for metal packaging and follow its preparation guidance. Do not assume instructions for an address elsewhere in the UK apply to your home.
