transparent vs. opaque ice

Its hot summer here in israel,
and I like freezing bottles of mineral water.
Some times the ice comes out opaque and other times its crystal clear.

can any one tell me why is this ?

well, actually its all the same water (as far as I know) - bought from the same company of mineral water, it is also always bottles that have been opened and some water removed and in some cases water "residue" from several bottles that have been put into a single bottole.
maybe in the later case I am getting more air mixed in the water ?
might it also relate to wather I am handling the bottles while freezing ?
does the amout of "free" air in the bottle affect this (causing the ice to freeze under different levels of pressure) ?
maybe having the bottles sideways or upright also matters...
