The Fine Water Summit focused on the current global status of Premiumization, familiarizing consumers with the taste of premium choices. There have been several attempts to conduct water tasting but none have risen to a standard that represents the category of Fine Bottled Water. The Fine Water Society was founded in 2008 to enhance the visibility of Fine Water and communicate the idea that water is more than just water: it has terroir and unique characteristics. Representing the Fine Water Category and the Fine Water Society set the example for conducting water tastings that will be become the future professional standard.
About AQUA Carpatica
AQUA Carpatica comes from springs deep within the Carpathian Mountains—an ancient land where time seems to stand still, leaving only the pristine beauty of nature and history. It’s the last wild forest in Europe, and with no agriculture or industrial activity in the surrounding area, it’s like going back to a time before chemicals, fertilizers, CFCs and other contaminants even existed. With AQUA Carpatica, purity and taste go hand in hand. Millions of years of volcanic activity have filtered impurities at the source and endowed our water with its unrivaled flavor. Natural minerals enrich AQUA Carpatica’s sparkling water—the only nitrate-free, naturally sparkling mineral water on earth. The springs that provide the foundation for AQUA Carpatica have been preserved from the beginning of time, and they’ll be protected for thousands of years more.
