You are correct that Evian & Volvos seem to escape this problem as the plastic they use seems more robust than the slightly “crinkly” plastic used by Harrogate & others.

I’ll try tasting the water from the glass bottles in the lounges and see if that also tastes weird like the water from the plastic bottles.
