1. A plastic container for holding liquids and in particular beverages, having a base section which forms an at least partially circumferential standing surface, having a main body which adjoins the base section in a longitudinal direction of the container, which forms an inner volume of the plastic container, within which the liquid can be held, and having a mouth section with a mouth via which a liquid can be filled into the plastic container, wherein
the base section has a plurality of standing foot areas, wherein a tension band extending in a radial direction being arranged between two adjacent standing foot areas and the base section having a first curved structure with an injection point in such a manner that the injection point projects in the longitudinal direction of the plastic container towards the mouth of the plastic container, and a second curved structure adjoins the first curved structure in the radially outward direction, wherein this second curved structure is curved in the direction of the mouth of the plastic container, wherein a radius of curvature of the first curved structure is smaller, at least in sections, than a radius of curvature of the second curved structure and wherein at least one tension band has a first section and a second section, which each extend in the radial direction and which are spaced apart from one another.
