Creating a matrix matching all foods with bottled waters would be impossible, and it would surely take the fun out of experimenting with various combinations. The rules below should be taken as starting points for an exploration. Use them when water is the only beverage you are serving. (The next section describes how to choose water when you’re also serving wine as the meal’s primary beverage.)

When you open a bottle of Fiji Water today you drink the rain water that fell around 450 years ago at the time Balboa discovered the Pacific. Carbon dating tells that the what we drink today from a bottle of Fiji Water is rain that fell more than 450 years ago, and it has been percolating ever since through layers of silica, basalt and sandstone.

Not to mention that we would reduce the amount of PET bottled by more the 40%.

Many fine restaurants overlook the emerging trend and fail to provide proper water glasses water, it quickly becomes clear, is usually an afterthought. I don’t mind paying eight dollars for a bottle of water, but I want it served in an appropriate glass. Instead, I’ve been served water in all possible vessels, from a heavy whiskey tumbler to a long highball glass and the dreaded lemonade glass.
