Some is in glass and much is in tetrapak here. I am wondering if some
brands are reconstituting a condensed product.

Apparently not Mutti, the brand I have here now.

Anyway, I just don't want to
use it. It's too bas, because passata with water was my only version of
tomato juice since the supermarket stopped carrying the horrendously
expensive 125 ml bottles.

No tomato juice where you live? Such a pity!

For decades, no good or even just acceptable tomato juice could be found
in Germany. Now, happily, there is a plethora of good brands. I love
tomato juice and, right now, have four brands here, all in TetraPaks.

One is from the Amecke "Sanfte Säfte" line, the only one made from
concentrate, yet it tastes good. I use it for Bloody Marys.

One other is the recently introduced Amecke Bio Tomate. It is a
directly pressed juice and truly an excellent one, very thick. I drink
it "as is" or mixed with just a bit of lemon juice. It is the most
expensive one of the four, costing 1.79 euros a litre (quart).

Yet another one is Vita Verde Bio Tomate, also directly pressed and very
good, though not quite as good as Amecke Bio.

And then I have a Polish-produced Tymbark Pikant Tomate, also directly
pressed and spiced with chile and black pepper. It is rather thin, but
has a very nice taste. It is the cheapest of the lot, costing 1.29
euros a litre. For comparison, a tiny can (5.5 fl. oz./163 ml) of
imported Spicy-Hot V8 costs 1.49 euros and some places sell it for 1.79.
