Anyone looking to buy drinks in multipacks online will usually compare the brand and price first. However, that is not always enough. Pack size, type of drink, storage requirements and labelling all affect whether a multipack really suits your needs. A pack of 24 can be practical for a party, but take up more space than necessary in a small household. Glass bottles are handled differently from cans or PET bottles, while caffeinated drinks require particular attention to the relevant notices.
This buying guide helps you buy soft drinks online, avoid hidden costs and choose suitable multipacks for your home, office, catering business or event.
A low price per pack may seem attractive at first. The price per litre is more meaningful. For example, a pack of 24 0.33-litre cans contains 7.92 litres in total. A pack of six 1.25-litre bottles contains 7.5 litres. The two multipacks therefore differ only slightly in total volume, even though the number of individual containers is significantly different.
For a fair comparison, you should check:
In sugar-free soft drinks, sugar is generally replaced with sweeteners. The ingredients list may include aspartame, acesulfame-K, sodium cyclamate or sucralose, among others. Products containing aspartame must carry the legally required notice stating that they contain a source of phenylalanine.
If you want to buy cola, do not just look for the term “Zero”. Compare the nutritional information and ingredients instead. Classic lemonades, on the other hand, may contain around 10 to 12 grams of sugar per 100 millilitres. The specific recipe shown on the product label is always decisive.
Energy drinks in a pack of 24 are not suitable for every household. For example, Red Bull Apricot Edition 24x0.25L lists a caffeine content of 32 milligrams per 100 millilitres. According to the product labelling, the drink is not recommended for children or pregnant or breastfeeding women. The same packaging guidance applies to caffeinated cola drinks.
When buying beer by the case, you are also buying the alcohol content and any potential allergens. Heineken Premium Lager Beer Can 24x0.33L is listed as containing 5% alcohol by volume and gluten from barley malt. Alcoholic drinks must be kept away from minors; pregnant women should avoid alcohol completely.
The right packaging depends on how you intend to use it:
A multipack of canned soft drinks is usually easy to distribute. Glass bottles can create a premium impression when served, but they are heavier and more liable to break. For events, plan the transport route, cooling facilities and disposal arrangements in advance.
Depending on the product, unopened drinks with a long shelf life can be stored for extended periods. The best-before date is shown on the relevant packaging. For optimum quality, follow the manufacturer’s instructions: many drinks should be kept in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight.
Once opened, carbonated drinks gradually lose their fizz. Opened bottles should be kept in the fridge and consumed within the stated period. Milk-based products such as Bärenmarke iced coffee require particular attention after opening; according to the product information, the contents should be consumed within 24 hours.
Before ordering, check the product details for three key points:
For imported specialities, the labelling and packaging format may differ from familiar German products. Always check the currently listed ingredients and the information provided for the specific item.

We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
For a household, 1.25-litre bottles often take up less space than lots of small cans. At a party or in the office, however, 0.25- or 0.33-litre multipacks make serving easier. If beer or other alcoholic products are being offered, also plan to provide alcohol-free drinks.
A simple guide:
When assessing drink offers, you should also consider the delivery quantity and weight. A box containing 24 cans or glass bottles can weigh several kilograms. Having a suitable place to put it makes delivery and storage easier.
That depends on the number of guests, the length of the event and the alternatives available. 0.33-litre multipacks are suitable for controlled individual portions. Larger bottles may be more economical, but once opened they need to be consumed more quickly and stored in the fridge.
A multipack may offer a lower price per litre or per portion, but this is not automatic. Compare the total volume, delivery costs, deposit, packaging type and best-before date. Only then can you determine the true comparison value.
Unopened products should be stored according to the manufacturer’s instructions and used by the best-before date. Direct sunlight and high temperatures should be avoided. Once opened, drinks should be kept in the fridge and consumed promptly. The specific information on the packaging takes precedence.
