Actual flowchart for turnkey mineral water processing plant

Tap water beats top brands at Decanter tasting – decanter.com – the route to all good wine — Does this actually surprise anyone?

A glass of tap water has been rated superior to mineral waters costing thousands of times as much in a Decanter blind tasting.

Decanter’s panel – made up of Masters of Wine, top sommeliers and some of the most experienced palates in the country – voted the tap water supplied by utility company Thames Water third equal in a tasting of 24 waters.

The top-scoring water was Waiwera, from New Zealand, which sells for £9 a litre at Claridges. This was followed by Vittel, £0.39 in Tescos.

Joint third was Thames Water’s standard tap water, drawn from a kitchen tap in South Kensington, London, costing less than one penny (£0.09918) per litre.
