Light designated waters have even a smaller bubble than those
of the Classic waters. These waters are different and draw attention. Many people who claim they don't like sparkling water at all love this designation.

| Stemware: |
If water is your main drink with a meal, you need appropriate glassware and it should not be a water goblet or tumbler. The appropriate stemware helps add to the feeling of fine dining and provides a more elegant and festive glass for toasts. Leading manufacturers produce special glasses for water that fit any occasion. |
| Food: |
If there is a subtle mouthfeel of a dish, for example a perfectly sautéed fish dish, a Light sparkling water would be perfect choice. It gives texture but does not overpower the presentation. |

| TDS: |
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) consist mainly of carbonates, bicarbonates, chlorides, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates,
calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, manganese, and a few others. They do not include gases, colloids, or sediment.
Bottled water containing not less than 250 parts per million TDS may be labeled as mineral water.
If the TDS content of mineral water is below 500 parts per million (ppm), or it is greater than 1,500 ppm, the
statement "low mineral content" or "high mineral content" applies, respectively. Seawater. for example, has a
TDS of around 34,000. High levels of minerals in water TDS can sometimes produce a metallic flavor, especially
if you’re not accustomed to high mineral content waters. TDS is usually measured in ppm (parts per million) or mg/l |
| ph: |
the pH scale ranges between 0 and 14. Water with a pH of 7 is neutral and less than 7 is acidic, a pH greater than 7 is alkaline.
If the water has a pH of less than 4 the water may have a sour taste. Water with a pH greater than 8.5 has an unpleasant taste.
