After 200 years: evian is now also available with carbon dioxide
With evian Sparkling, the long-established brand is bringing its carbonated natural mineral water to Switzerland for the first time. The launch is taking place during evian’s 200th anniversary year.
The French mineral water brand evian is expanding its range in Switzerland with a carbonated variant. The new evian Sparkling is being launched in the brand's 200th anniversary year and is aimed at consumers looking for a sparkling alternative to classic still mineral water.
Medium perlage from the French Alps
The carbonated mineral water comes from the same spring in the French Alps as the classic evian. There, the water undergoes a natural filtration process over 15 years through several layers of glacial rock. This unique path through nature gives the water its balanced mineralization and characteristic fresh taste. The sparkling mineral water contains 6 grams of carbon dioxide per liter, giving it a harmonious, medium-strength perlage.
"evian Sparkling marks a new chapter for our brand, and it means a lot to us to bring the product to Switzerland. We are fulfilling a long-standing wish of many consumers," explains Isabel Petit, Country Manager Danone Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia. evian Sparkling is now available throughout Switzerland at the recommended retail price of CHF 1.10, including at Coop, Coop Pronto, Migros, Denner, Manor, Müller, Otto's and Valora points of sale.
200 years of brand history
The history of evian dates back to the 18th century: the mineral water spring in Évian-les-Bains on Lake Geneva was discovered in 1789. There, the mineral water is bottled directly at the spring and exported to over 140 countries. This year, evian is celebrating its 200th anniversary and is one of the world's best-known brands of natural mineral water. In Switzerland, evian achieves around half of its sales in the still water segment.
While evian Sparkling is already available in some international markets, the product is being launched in Switzerland in a turquoise rPET bottle. The modern design combines the familiar evian aesthetic with a practical format for everyday use and on the go. In keeping with the brand message "Live Young", evian stands for an active lifestyle that brings lightness and well-being to everyday life.
