The best water in glass bottles

Updated · Scores from third-party lab reports · How we score

The best glass bottled water is Panama Blue Water Glass Bottle (96/100), ahead of Cedar Springs Bottled Water Gallon (96/100), Acqua Filette Natural Glass Bottle (95/100) and Acqua Filette Gently Sparkling Glass Bottle (95/100). We ranked 553 waters sold in glass.

Glass is the gold standard packaging for water: it is inert, it does not shed microplastics and it does not leach plastic additives like antimony or BPA-type compounds. Watch the cap though. Plastic-lined caps can still add a small amount of plastic exposure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best water in a glass bottle?

Panama Blue Water Glass Bottle (96/100) currently ranks #1 among glass-bottled waters, followed by Cedar Springs Bottled Water Gallon (96/100) and Acqua Filette Natural Glass Bottle (95/100).

Does glass bottled water have microplastics?

Glass bottles themselves do not shed microplastics, so glass-bottled water carries the lowest microplastics risk. Small amounts can still come from the cap liner or the bottling line.

How are these waters scored?

Every product gets a 0–100 purity score built from a lab report being on file, contaminants detected versus legal limits and health guidelines, the water source, mineral preservation, packaging material, cap material and PFAS testing. Products without a third-party lab report cannot score high, no matter how good the marketing is.
