Gibt es wirklich so große Unterschiede im Geschmack von Wasser?

Yes, there are very big differences in the taste of water. The notes range from bitter to sweet or even salty. Some waters have an aftertaste, others do not. The sensory characteristics also vary. That's why a water tasting is a good way to come into contact with a wide variety of waters and find your own taste and preferences.

Werden die Wassertastings auch mit stillem Wasser angeboten?

Yes, you can also conduct your water tasting exclusively with still water. During the tastings at your premises or ours, you decide together with Pat Eckert which waters you would like to taste. For the virtual tasting or the tasting via YouTube, we also offer packages with only still water.

Ich habe noch nie eine Wasserverkostung gemacht – was erwartet mich?

An extensive insight into the world of water awaits you during a water tasting. You will get to know it from a different perspective and sharpen your senses in terms of taste and sensory perception. We also teach you about water in general, sources, bottling and many other topics. Expect content that was previously completely unknown to you.

Muss ich mich auf das Wassertasting vorbereiten?

No, you don't need to prepare for the water tasting. To enjoy the full taste experience, you should avoid coffee, chewing gum, cigarettes or very spicy foods immediately before the tasting. It is also important to us that you bring enough time with you and can enjoy the tasting in peace.

Werden auch Wassertastings für Firmen angeboten?

Yes, we also offer water tastings for companies. These can be held virtually or on site and are very popular. For the individual configuration of your event, please contact Pat Eckert personally.

Gibt es auch Wassertastings für die Gastronomie?

About water sommelier Pat Eckert

Internationally active in the areas of water distribution, consulting and tasting.

For all of us, water is so commonplace, so omnipresent and at the same time so special, so intangible. Yet water in all its facets, like an excellent wine, can only unfold its full effect after careful selection.

At Fine Liquids, we have a globally unique portfolio of great water brands and ship almost worldwide.

As a water sommelier, I advise hotels and restaurants on the best choice of water and accompanying water menus.

A water tasting is something truly extraordinary. Enjoy this experience on a small scale or invite someone to a suitable setting. We create an unforgettable setting combined with good entertainment.

I am an official partner of ORIGINAL SELTERS from Selters an der Lahn.
