Water for the Table? Top Ten Bottled Water Brands.

I love a fine glass of water with my meal. Yes, I said water. Don't get me wrong, for a festive celebration, champagne, prosecco and wine is fabulous. But pair my meal with an exceptional glass of bottled water and I am a very happy (and hydrated) girl.

Water Obsessed. Not only do I love bottled water, but I am a bit obsessed with different brands, mineral analysis, source and differing PH levels. Even though all bottled water looks about the same, the chemical analysis and source origins will reveal a wide variety of differences in taste and health properties. Every time I go out to eat I request "sparkling" water for the table, not really because I want to pay $10 for a $3 bottle, but because I love discovering new brands of bottled water. I always say, you can judge a restaurant by the bottled water they serve. A good example: Delano in South Beach (one of my fave hotels ever) always serves VOSS water, one of my bottled water faves. Check out the rest of my top ten list...

My water preferences. Everyone will crave different qualities in a bottled water. Here are my basic preferences:

Still or sparkling: sparkling with meals.
Minerality: high in minerals (for health of course).
Source Origin: Anywhere as long as it is pure, natural and from a 'deep' source.
Glass or Plastic Bottle: Glass. Duh.
With lemon or Without: With. But not always.
PH Level: Highest possible! I want water that is low in acidity.
