Schweppes Zero Indian Tonic

Schweppes is one of the world's most historic beverage brands, famously originating in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1783 when Jacob Schweppe developed a process to manufacture carbonated mineral water. The brand later moved its headquarters to London, where it became the official purveyor of soda water to the British Royal Family.

The ownership of Schweppes is highly fragmented by region. In Western Europe, including Sweden where this specific bottle (marked 'Sockerfri') is marketed, the brand is owned by the Suntory Group following their acquisition of Orangina Schweppes. Manufacturing for the Swedish market is primarily handled locally through licensing agreements, often by Spendrups Bryggeri.

Globally, However, the brand is managed by different entities. In the United States and Canada, the brand is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper. In many other international markets, including parts of Africa and Latin America, The Coca-Cola Company holds the rights. This complex distribution network ensures that Schweppes remains a staple in the beverage and mixer market worldwide.
