Water. A simple liquid that we all consume daily.
Many assume it all tastes the same. Whether it's from the tap, bottle, or some kind of filter system such as a fridge, jug or under sink system linked to a tap.
But what happens when a wine expert, someone trained to detect the faintest whisper of minerality in a Chablis or the subtlest oak note in a Napa Cabernet, turns that finely tuned palate toward water?
The Myth That All Water Tastes the Same.
To most of us, water is functional. Whether we're drinking it for hydration, refreshment, or as a neutral beverage to accompany a meal.
Yet water, like wine, has a story. It goes on a journey.
Travelling through soil and stone, gathering minerals, carrying textures. Water can reflect its original source and goes through various processes before it reaches your glass.
Regular water drinkers are often not tuned to detect different notes and flavours, but a wine expert approaches the tasting of any liquid methodically. They go through a list of ways to analyse the experience:
- Appearance – Clarity, viscosity, movement
- Aroma – Subtle mineral notes, freshness
- Mouthfeel – Weight, texture, effervescence
- Finish – Clean, lingering, dry, metallic, soft
Apply that same framework to water, and suddenly, the notes that are usually invisible suddenly become expressive.
