Water Of The Week
23 Answers
Well my liver needs a night or two off.
Scored on a totally random (and invented) basis :
Badoit Red : 95%
All the lovely, minerally, Badoit taste, but "intensement petillante" (that's "very fizzy" for our resident monoglot europhobes). Easily the best sparkling water.
Volvic 90%
Possibly the best still water - can be an acquired taste but well worth the effort - I tend to think they've backed off the sulphur gas slightly these days, but that may just be my ageing sense of taste.
Strathmore (sparkling) 85%
My favourite UK fizzy water - good clean taste and lots of bubbles
Buxton (still) 85%
I resent this being marketed with the Nestle branding splurged all over it, but they don't seem to have messed with the product and it's (imnvho) the best still UK water.
Severn Trent tap 25%
It may be free (well almost) but it reeks of chlorine, is horrid to drink straight from the tap and poisons any decent scotch you add it to ...
... but it does make a decent pot of tea and, if you filter it, then it is just about OK for taking your medication.

The amount of fresh water on the planet is constant. The water we have now is the same water that we had when dinosaurs (or Adam and Eve, if any of our R&S ABers read this thread) were drinking and weeping the water. I'm guessing that all the fresh water on the planet has been drunk and wee'd thousands of times, absorbed back into the soil, popped up out of springs, bottled or collected, cleaned, filtered, and then given back to us so that we can, basically, drink dinosaur wee.
And THAT is why you should only drink wine and vodka.
