How much are you willing to pay for a bottle of water? Rs 20, 40, even 60 if you're going to a fancy five-star hotel. But trust us, when you get to know the cost of the costliest bottle of water in the world, you'll completely lose your mind.?
Named Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani, the water bottle was sold for $60,000 (?44,95,830) and was recorded in Guinness books as the most expensive water bottle in 2010.?
?But what really is in this bottle of water that it costs more than an average person's kidney??
There are several reasons behind this unimaginable price. One reason is the exquisite bottle it is packaged into. The bottle is made of solid 24-carat gold.Furthermore, its shape is designed by the world¡¯s most famous bottle designer Fernando Altamirano, who also designed the world¡¯s most expensive bottle ever made which is filled with the Henri IV Dudognon Heritage Cognac.
The water is sourced from France and Fiji (two points literally on opposite sides of the globe, which likely adds to the cost)
Finally, the taste that this expensive water offers is also beyond the ordinary and it also provides more energy than the average drinking water available in the market today.??
All bottles of this brand come packaged in a beautiful leather case. Moreover, lower price affordable variants of the water bottle are available for $285 (?21,355) which may not have a 24-carat gold coating but at least you'll have the freshest and more energetic water to drink, right?
However,?Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani may be the most expensive bottle of water, but there are still several other bottled water available in the world that is way too expensive.
Kona Nigari is a $402-per-bottle water from Japan that is collected from a spring 2,000 meters under the sea off of the coast of Hawaii island, which is said to contain beneficial, naturally-occurring deep-sea electrolytes.?
The $219-per-bottle Fillico is another Japanese brand of bottled water whose bottles are made to look like a king and queen; they are even topped with gold crowns. (The water comes from the Rokko Mountains near Osaka, whereat the water filters through granite and is excessively oxygenated, rendering it ¡°gentle to all drinkers¡±.)
So, next time if you have to buy a costly bottle of drinking water at the airport, remember that some people are paying lakhs of rupees for it around the world.
