According to the Guiness book, the world's largest mineral water company, the one which produces the largest number of bottles of mineral water per year, is which company?

The company holding the Guinness World Record for producing the most bottles of mineral water annually is the iconic French brand, Perrier. Sourced from a naturally carbonated spring in Vergèze, southern France, the water has been bottled since the late 19th century. Its distinctive green bottle and high level of carbonation have made it a globally recognized product for well over a century.

Perrier's massive production volume is supported by its parent company, Nestlé, a global food and beverage giant that has the resources and distribution network to maintain such a high output. This success is also rooted in a strong domestic culture of water consumption. The French, for instance, consume an average of 151 pints of mineral water per person each year, creating a huge and reliable market for native brands.

Beyond sheer numbers, Perrier successfully marketed itself as a sophisticated, upscale alternative to sugary soft drinks, particularly in the international market during the late 20th century. This combination of a unique natural product, a strong home market, powerful corporate backing, and clever branding has allowed it to scale its production to a world-record-setting level.
