[edit] Natural Carbonation?

Doesn't it say on the label (I don't have one in front of me) that [unlike Perrier] it is not naturally carbonated? (This applies to the larger bottles sold in the US.) Gront 04:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci was long since dead by 1899. 212.29.136.29

My error

--where it says da vinci later wrote a treatise on the subject... it sounds like they mean to say that he wrote a treatise on the subject of san pellegrino miracle water, rather than his writings about the physics of water. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.94.120.100 (talk) 04:57, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics

Statistics need to be cited. Also, there should be a longer list of celebrities, or the section should be removed altogether. -Breathstealer 09:08, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cost

San Pellegrino is not cheap but this cannot be correct: "Currently, (2005), a bottle of San Pellegrino is sold for around $10 in New York.". I used to buy a carton of twelve 1 litre bottles for about $22 in Australia. --Sleepyhead 08:58, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi, $22 AUD in GBP is about £9. $10 for one bottle sold in New York is equal to about $13 AUD. Judging by what you are saying, $22 ÷ 12 [bottles] is equal to $2 AUD per bottle. Hence, $2 AUD into United States Dollar is equal to about $2 (USD). Which seems you are correct. But according to the following website:---Requires FLASH--- It claims otherwise! To get proof; click the "history" tab next to "Geological Origin". Then keep clicking right till the end of the time line until you get to 2003. Here it explains that it costs $10 and 65'000 are sold everyday. Thanks, 17:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
That's 10 dollars at a restaurant. I haven't been to New York but I would assume a trendy restaurant would charge a hefty premium price on everything including San Pellegrino. --Sleepyhead 07:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
And which is also stated in the Wikipedia article :) I thought it was meant to be the retail price. Never mind then. --Sleepyhead 07:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
As for Cost, a typical 750ml bottle (typical wine size bottle) sells for $1.79 (USD) at BevMo (Beverages and More)on the west coast. High end restaurants typically have a 150% - 300% mark-up or more.
I've seen it at Trader Joe's for $1.50. Just as cheap as Europe. 128.226.220.125 06:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
In Canada it goes from about $1.99 in regular grocery stores to about $1.45 in discount grocery stores. Not what I'd call expensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.51.125.161 (talk) 00:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Requested Image

I have added the image request tag. I feel it is a bit "bland" so I would thank anyone who has one. Thanks, very, very much. 13:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

I've taken a photo of a bottle and added it to the article. AJR 01:06, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

I have cleaned up the article, but I don't know where San Pellegrino is shipped to. I put the continents where I definitely know they are shipped to. But the time line says it is posted to Africa, Middle East and the Far East. I do not know if they continue to ship it there - add in the continents Africa, Middle East and the Far East if this is still. Thanks, 11:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Varieties

I added some varieties (Aranciata, Limonata and Chino), if anyone knows of any others that would be great - this is all I know of so far - AKeen 08:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I've added Sanbittèr, a nonalcoholic bitters aperitif. Jstdafacts 02:51, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit

Please get someone whos english is at a good level to copyedit this - I've noticed several gramatical errors (particuary in the tense of the verbs) and I know that if I can see some, there is bound to be more... WegianWarrior 09:41, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Advertisement

Wow. Someone at Pellegrino should just use this entire entry as an ad for their product. Pure flavor? That's pretty kind to something that tastes like someone took a piss in a club soda. Now I'm not saying that my opinion ('piss club soda') should be added in as counter-balance, but ludicrous statements about the purity of its taste belong in an ad campaign, not an encyclopedic entry. 204.69.40.7 18:08, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remove sentences?

I don't understand the part that begins with "The surrounding area is highly favorable for the formation...". Someone who knows more about geology might be better suited to rewriting that. Or we could just remove it. Ksero 20:33, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
