Whats The Best Bottled Water To Drink In Ireland

gent9662

Just wondering if anyone has compared all the different types of bottled water available. I'm living in Galway so as you would probably have read in the news we have a liuttle bit of a problem down here at the moment. So alot of water is being consumed.

It's all a matter of taste for me - I don't like the taste (or smell) of the stuff that comes out of my tap.
I get the stuff from Lidl - 65c for 2L, or else the Tesco stuff for a similar price. They taste much better, and I don't think it costs all that much.
If out and about I would avoid Riverrock or Ballygowan.

For anyone that doesn't know. Riverock is made by coca cola which get their water from normal tap water in London. Remember they had a HUGE flop when trying to realise a new name water.
That is why the pubs get Riverock fro FREE from the coca cola reps.

Yep makes me smile every time I see people buying this sh1te as Coca-Cola uses water from local water supplies and filters it then adds trace amounts of minerals its just pure MUCK.

And it was Dasani water that was Riverrocks predecessor that was bottled from Sidcups water supply until it got contaminated and the media picked up the story that is was just in fact just treated tap water.

And if I do buy water either Kerry or Tipperary as I always try to buy Irish and it is actually spring water.

Volvic all the way baby!!!

The rest taste like crap esp ballygowan, eugh

It doesn't matter if it is tap water filtered and with added minerals. It tastes nice, that is what it is about.
What would make other weater better?
Oh my, it's been under a rock for a billion years, nice.

The special water! Excellent idea, or come up to Westport in Mayo, and I'll treat ye all with my lovely water...

I have a water filter installed in my house and water dispensers in college so I rarely buy water.

bohsman

I normally buy ballygowan but vittel would be my favourite.

Jesus Wept

I just drink tap water, Am I a philistine?

Should I consider switching?

carbonkid

Id just stick to the tap water...add a drop of mi wadi into it, takes the taste of iron and sewage right out of it!

Gauge

I like filtered tap water, but goddamn if I don't get a craving for cold water sometimes and end up just grabbing a bottle. I despise RiverRock, it has a strange smell and taste to it. Good water doesn't have a taste!

Tap water, used to bring it from Dublin to Dundalk every week, 'cos the stuff up there used to smell and taste like TCP

if I have to buy bottled water then I always try to get carbonated stuff.

BTW: since bottled water costs more than own-brand lemonade, what liquid do they put in the lemonade ???

Carbonated Water, I've never understood it, so someone does buy/drink this stuff?

Volvic FTW, tastes different for sure!

I can't say I could note any difference between volvic or evian or whatever bottled water.

Maybe you can't, but I (and probably many others) can.

I know a shop that sells bottles of 'Organic Water'. I think I remember reading on the bottle that it comes from Canada.

Iv just got 2 Britta Jugs, water tastes grand out of them.

projectmayhem

evian ftw. it tastes clearer then the rest...

Tobias Greeshman

At home I drink deep river rock, which for no other reason than I always buy it, it tastes nice, so why the hell not!

I don't see much difference in any of them.

Numina

Ballygowan ftw, I can't understand why so many people don't like it. I don't like volvic because I can taste the metals in it

K-9

I find Evian/Volvic quite milky or very chalky kind of taste.

Endurance Man

Riverock is terrible stuff, its tastes ok when its chilled, but cool it to room temp and its horrid :S.

Ask someone in Galway... They are getting a lot of practice sampling bottled water recently (and will until September?).

thecheese

has to be evian, but i mostly drink tap water being a student:rolleyes:

laois gael

While since this threa was up....But riverrock has got worse its rank how anyone drinks it ill never know!

Evian tastes the best but most of them are the same

cournioni

Celtic Pure all the way. Lovely stuff!

For those of you who drink Evian, Evian backwards spells naive.

I usually drink bottled water in pubs because I'm driving but I get annoyed when I ask for Ballygowan and they serve whatever they happen to have. The worst offender is the Grand in Tramore where they serve their own brand water in bottles with a fancy name - tastes very like the local tap to me. They only caught me once though!

Party on dude

I think anyone who, with a straight face, talks about what brand of bottled water they prefer, should be banned from ever complaining about money or their wages or the recession.

The good news is you all have superb lives.
