Zepherhill for still

Perrier for carbonated - it has just the right amount of fizz for me

Voss
Penta
Acqua Panna

Evian

Voss makes you look cool. :D

I think Evian tastes the best.

I also like Blu.

Gerolsteiner for fizz... anybody's tap water works for non -fizz. I wish European restaurants didn't try to make you feel weird to ask for tap water....

Have you dined in the U.S. lately? ;)

I used to buy that in small glass bottles by the case years ago in Minneapolis. IMHO it tastes better from bottles (even plastic ones) than cans.

For still water, I like Vittel or Cristalline. Never really liked the taste of Evian. I never buy still water in a restaurant and always get a carafe of tap water ("Château La Pompe" :D) instead.

For carbonated, it's normally Perrier or Badoit, and I like Badoit Rouge too. Not so fond of San Pellegrino, which is what's usually offered in restaurants here.

I dont like Evian and that sorts of uncarbonated water, only to thin out some juices !

Perrier is my favourite, however last Sunday I got San Pellegrino served in St Monica which was ok as well ^

Being in germany for instance I just buy Gerolsteiner or Apollinaris as I dont find it reasonable to spend that much money for premium water when you have great products available for much less.

Badoit is a very nice, well bottled water.
Esp. when travalling, you get it in plastic bottles and the water does not taste like plastic at all.

I also prefer San Pellegrino.

I also like the "FIJI" water !!

Fiji when I can. Arrowhead most of the time and sparkletts or whatever elkese they have gateside at the airport.

Volvic is my daily drink, usually between 1 and 3 liters a day. I don't like Evian at all.
When in the US I drink Poland Spring.

I rarely drink sparkling water, but if available I go for Perrier, many restaurants in Germany offer San Pellegrino which I also enjoy.

I like Evian the best and Fiji a close second.

What I hate are Aquafina and Dassani - and since Coke and Pepsi seem to have all of the airline terminals locked into contracts, it's very hard to find real spring water when traveling

Poland Springs at home... if Sam's Club sells it, it has to be good.

On the road... whatever local bottled water that's available... in Thailand, I like Aura, in Zambia, Manzi's my favorite... a bit chewy, but eminently drinkable.

Water is brackish-tasting from the faucet so time to start buying bottled water for the summer. I was going to start a new thread entitled "Water" but found this one, so am bumping it rather than starting a new thread. I hope that's all right, as otherwise would have a dup thread.

I don't have any real preferences as to type or brand of bottled water. Store brand is fine with me, whether spring water or whatever. No carbonated, however, and thanks.

I do miss the mineral water (still, not carbonated) I had on train trips in Germany. I didn't notice the brands and just remember that we bought them from the vendors who went through the trains. The first time or two, I was thirsty and didn't find them satisfying in that regard. However, I developed a taste--and it is an acquired taste--for the strong and almost abrasive mineral taste in a few bottles of it. I wish I could buy it here in the States, though I don't want it badly enough to mail-order it if it isn't in the stores. I have bought "mineral water" in the stores that hasn't had the same complex, very strong, even bitter taste. What I remember satisfied as much as does a meal. It surely was nutritious, though in some unknown way, because it satisfied as much as several servings of uncooked vegetables would do. I recall watching a German man once drinking a bottle of it--I was thinking at the time, yecch--as if it were a gourmet treat. Now, after having developed a taste for it myself, I understand. When I was thirsty only and not looking for the strong taste--i.e., most of the time--I would buy Evian in a take-out shop, which was a lot better for simple thirst. But being thirsty and craving the mineral taste are two entirely different objectives, met by different bottled waters.

The strong mineral waters I remember are probably not available--at least I haven't gotten anything like the same quality when I have tried various store brands-- in the U.S. But how I wish--.

Anyhow, summer, so timely for this thread revival.
