UAE Second Largest Consumer of Bottled Water

The UAE is the world’s second largest consumer of drinking bottled water in 2006, according to a National Geographic report.

The report put Italy on the lead with 203 litres per person, followed by the UAE at 197 litres, and Mexico (191 litres) while the USA ranked tenth with 104 litres.

According to the report, the world demand for bottled water surged from 28 billion gallons in 2000 to 47 million in 2006.

The report lamented a lack of public awareness to the importance of recycling bins. "U.S, drinkers toss 60 million plastic water bottles a day," it said.

Matching Bottled Water With Food
The FineWaters Balance categorizes the "mouthfeel" of water based on the level of carbonization in five steps from Still to Effervescent, Light, Classic and Bold. This categorization is the basis of matching water with food in a fine dinig experience.

The Water Glass
When one orders water in a fine dining restaurant it becomes rapidly clear that water is, in most cases, an afterthought. We have been served water in all possible contraptions from heavy whiskey tumblers to long highball glasses and the dreaded lemonade glass. A wide variety of wine glasses are also often used as water glasses. This is not appropriate.

The Flavor of Bottled Water
When tasting water the most important factor in its overall integrated sensation we call flavor is the mouthfeel generated by the size, amount and distribution of the bubbles or the absence of it.
