Water tasting – Evian and Volvic top so far!
Having given up wine for almost ten days I have taken up a new tasting venture – water. They all taste the same I hear you cry, but do they? What are the differences between all the bottled waters on the shelves? Do they taste different to tap water?
This taste test will take place over time, but preliminary results are as follows:
Perrier: very bubbly, chalky taste. Slightly dries the mouth and leaves a dry, slightly unpleasant sensation
San Pellegrino: less bubbles, and more watery (if that’s possible). Also slightly chalky
Evian: Crisp, very hard to distinguish any taste at all.
Volvic: Very hard to tell from Evian. Impossible in a blind tasting.
Tap water: To much chlorine. Unpleasant after the others.
That’s it so far. But we will be trying other water brands and re-tasting the above to see how our palates change. Hopefully we will start picking up more in the waters we drink.
