Company History: The Apollinaris spring in the Ahr Valley of Germany was known to the Romans nearly two thousand years ago. But the water wasn't bottled until the mid-1800s after Georg Kreuzberg investigated an area of his vineyard in which the vines were not growing well and discovered carbon dioxide gas. Digging down, he uncovered a clear, warm, mineral spring. He called the spring Apollinaris in honor of a neighboring church dedicated to St. Apollinaris, the patron saint of the valley. By 1853 Apollinaris water was being bottled, and the water was soon sold beyond the Ahr Valley and the Rhineland. By 1905 the water was known as the Queen of Table Waters and had become a popular beverage at Buckingham Palace and the White House. Today the water is distributed throughout the United States in 6.7 ounce, 11 ounce and 1 liter glass containers.

Innovations: Dr. Alain Reinberg, research master at the CNRS and visiting professor at the University of Minnesota, who did medical studies of Apollinaris water, wrote that "Apollinaris water compensates for deficiencies in potassium and magnesium which frequently occur in persons taking meals away from home and in those who diet without first taking medical [and] nutritional advice" (Sante d'Aujourd'hui no. 17, April 1975).
