At 120 litres per year, Spain is the fourth largest per capita consumer of mineral water in the world, and its set to overtake Italy and France within the next five years (source: ANEABE). Despite the size of Spain’s home market its most famous mineral waters are little know internationally. Perhaps its Spain’s image as a dry, sun-baked land that makes it difficult to believe there are spectacular mountainous regions overflowing with outstanding mineral waters. Spain has three important mineral water regions, each with its own distinct flavours and traditions.
In stark contrast to the Italians and Germans, 95% of Spaniards prefer to drink still mineral water. The origins of this cultural difference are difficult to find but there is no doubt that Spaniards take their mineral waters very seriously indeed. The properties of individual waters are the subject of fierce debate and in a restaurant it’s not unusual to hear mineral waters discussed just like a fine wine or cognac.

- History of Bottled Water
Over the past two decades, bottled water has become the fastest-growing drinks market in the world. The global market was valued at $157bn in 2013 and is expected to reach $280bn by 2020.
Water is turning into wine. The same culture that surrounds the production and consumption
of wine is emerging around water. Water competitions akin to wine competitions
are now held.
Earth is old. The sun is old. But do you know what may be even older than both? Water.
Washington Post declares that unknown to many shoppers urged to buy foods that are “low sodium” and “low salt,” this longstanding warning has come under assault by scientists who say that typical American salt consumption is without risk.
Ours is the blue planet, and the hallmark of life on Earth is water. But where did this colorless, odorless liquid first come from? Recent discoveries in astrophysics suggest that water is not native to Earth.
This website appeared first in 2004 and the concept of considering water at the same level as wine and food as a natural product was still new and foreign to many.
