Water sommelier Pat Eckert
Pat Eckert is a passionate water sommelier and owner of Fine Liquids, an international water distribution, consulting and tasting company. Water is commonplace for all of us and yet so special. Just like an excellent wine, water can only unfold its full effect after careful selection. At Fine Liquids, we carry a globally unique portfolio of great water brands and ship almost anywhere in the world.
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 trained as a certified water sommelier and took part in the BLED Water Festival. Pat organized numerous water tastings in Europe and the UK and founded his own fine water brand "Aqa Finelli" in 2023.
As a water sommelier, Pat advises hotels and restaurants on the best choice of water and accompanying water menus. A water tasting is an extraordinary experience that can be enjoyed on a small scale 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 opening his water museum, which will exhibit the world's largest collection of water bottles. His work has been recognized in international media and TV shows such as ABC and Pro7 Galileo. He is currently focusing on optimizing the logistics and distribution of Fine Waters, among other things.
