Natural mineral water is water from a geographically and clearly localized spring which fulfils legal requirements concerning mineral content and composition (for example, Perrier or Vittel).

In the United States, spring water is bottled water which may be blended from various springs (as in our film, for example, Poland Spring in the state of Maine). However, it does not qualify as natural or classic mineral water.
In European Union countries bottled water defined as spring water must be filled direct from the source. However less stringent legal requirements apply concerning the mineral composition.

Table water is pumped mainly from groundwater or obtained from public drinking water supply systems (as in our film, for example, Nestlé Pure Life or bottled water from Pepsi und Coca Cola).
