The Pope added a "maximum range/volume" to the blessing of holy water, to ensure no one blessed water en masse. We don't want regular ocean water or toilet bowl water to be holy.

Though occasionally your luck runs out when you meet a really ancient vampire who can only be stopped with the totems of a stone-age shamanic cult no historic record remains of.

Or garlic

Or didn’t they have garlic in the ancient times?

They’d have had proto garlic. Probably not as delicious as modern, but still like. Tasty?

Since Vampires are supposedly hurt by holy water, I always wondered why priests don’t just say a prayer over every storm cloud, kill the vampires from above. Then I realized why so many Vampires are from Europe…
