Well it was a world record and it was the first of its kind.
Today we had the most water sommeliers in a single international live stream on the internet (CRAG Christmas Special), including the world's leading water sommelier, 7 in number, or shall I say 7 in one fell swoop?
In the entire show today there were incredible 7 water sommeliers plus two half.
As the host and head of the FINE LIQUIDS community, Pat Eckert is one of the two halves, because like Doran Binder he doesn't have a certificate, but he has no less passion for the topic.
Nevertheless, it can be said that the Fine Liquids community has achieved and created amazing things in the Corona year 2021.
The December issue breaks all superlatives, even for the core of the community.
But when it became clear to me, I wanted to know and looked up what we really did and that's quite remarkable.
I summarize:
1. We currently have the only (dynamic) WATER MENU Europe which is available in print and digitally.
2. We have them FINE LIQUIDS community launched and thus next to the FINE WATER Society founded the first community that brings water topics closer to its audience in an entertaining monthly format. This community consists of permanent and loose members, mostly certified water sommeliers and recognized water experts.
3. We have the FINE LIQUIDS International Score developed and evaluated the first 8 waters this year.
This makes them the first in the world to rate peak waters using a standardized system in an international score.
4. We have publicly on our page and social media whole 29 different waters tasted .
5. The Fine Liquids community has a whole 2021 Hit 9 times to discuss one water each in an international live stream.
6. Total are in our media work this year 8 water sommeliers from all over the world been represented.
7. We have 7 interviews and were guests in another 4 formats.
8. We have 2 youtube series came into being, in addition to the FINE LIQUIDS Community now also the purely German format WATER HOP MALT with the Doemens certified beer and water sommelier Maik Spiral Berger.
9. And finally we were 2 times on TV - well in Germany only a few seconds and without sound, but in Great Britain with Milin Patel on Channel 4 with a whole tasting but much more present.
