German beer/water/juice bottles are mostly standardized. There are some massive warts in the system unfortunately: The deposit is legally mandated but the bottles are private standards. Hence breweries/bottling companies are increasingly deviating from the standard bottles for marketing reasons. And there's a separate single-use flimsy-plastic deposit system used by discount stores which is very effective at collecting bottles for recycling but doesn't foster reuse.
However, I find it ridiculous that we're transporting all that water at all even though tap water here is at least as drinkable as the bottled water.

The usual 0.5L beer bottle:
water
A couple of different types here, some 0.7L, some 1L, some glass, some plastic, but all multi-use deposit bottles.
