Q1 Partly correct and subjected to litigations of PEPSICO-Aquafina in USA and Delhi. But mineral water as can be labelled with mountains say it is from spring from mountain and others are tap water or plain land water. Even spring water may not possess minerals. And where water is ozonated and processed apart from TDS removal, can be termed as mineral water. So calling any bottled wter as Mineral is only a misnomer. KR IRS 17 9 23
