Pat Eckert – In the mirror as a water sommelier
📢 Breaking News: Der Spiegel is reporting on my work as a water sommelier! 🎉💧
"Water is like wine"—a phrase I've uttered at countless tastings. Now, Der Spiegel has taken up the topic and published a full-page feature on my work. In an exclusive tasting with editor Alexander Smoltczyk, I had the opportunity to demonstrate that water is more than just H₂O —it has terroir, character, and a story. 🍶
But my focus isn't solely on tastings. My specialty is creating water menus and selections for fine dining. 🌟🌊
📌 Already implemented for:
🏨 Waldorf Astoria Berlin – where guests can enjoy a curated selection of premium waters.
🍽️ 12 Monkeys Lisbon – a hotspot where water is not only served, but integrated into the culinary experience.
💧 High-quality water menus are no longer a luxury, but a statement of enjoyment and quality. I help restaurants and hotels showcase water – just as wine and spirits have long been done.
🔥 Now more than ever: Der Spiegel has recognized it, and so have top restaurants. It's time for more appreciation of water!
