About water sommelier Pat Eckert
Pat Eckert is a passionate water sommelier and owner of the water business Fine Liquids, which operates internationally in the areas of water distribution, consulting and tasting. Water is something we all use every day, but at the same time it is so special. Much like an excellent wine, water can only develop its full effect after careful selection. At Fine Liquids, we have a globally unique portfolio of great water brands and ship almost worldwide.
Pat has been working intensively with water since 2010, took over Fine Liquids in 2018 and expanded the business to the UK in 2020. Together with Milin Patel, he founded the Fine Liquids Watershop and the Fine Liquids Art Gallery in London in 2021. In 2022, he completed training as a certified water sommelier and took part in the BLED Water Festival. Pat has hosted numerous water tastings in Europe and the UK and founded his own finewater brand "Aqa Finelli" in 2023.
As a water sommelier, Pat advises hotels and restaurants on the best water selection and accompanying water menus. A water tasting is an extraordinary experience that can be enjoyed in a small group or in a suitable setting. Pat creates an unforgettable setting, combined with good entertainment.
Since 2024, Pat has been the official water sommelier for the Selters brand and is working on the opening of his water museum, which will exhibit the world's largest water bottle collection.
