S.Pellegrino / San Pellegrino / 圣培露

S.Pellegrino / San Pellegrino / 圣培露 is the premium Italian mineral-water brand discussed in 巴黎水和圣培露还能赚钱，雀巢为何要剥离水业务？ as part of Nestle’s higher-end water portfolio. The source says Nestle acquired San Pellegrino after buying Perrier / 巴黎水, using it to build a premium-water line distinct from mass bottled-water brands such as Nestle Pure Life / 雀巢优活.

The episode uses San Pellegrino to show why premium bottled water is not just water plus distribution. The brand invests in fine-dining association, youth chef awards, restaurant rankings, special bottles, and limited editions, which support premium meaning but also keep marketing and channel costs high.
