Which sparkling water is the best? (maximevidal.com)

> We were waterlogged men.

I laughed, thank you.

Fun article, from someone who detests sparkling water (water shouldn't be spicy!)

Spindrift not in the list?

Disappointed Topo Chico isn't included. I've tried sparkling water all over the world and it's my favourite.

I like goofy projects like this. Too bad I've never seen most of these brands in the US.

St Yorre is my favourite. I will have to seek out this Rozana !

I recommend to try out Vichy Catalan[0], tastes really good and has a slight salinity to it.

Other good bubbles around the world:

US - Trader Joes - Surprisingly good bubbles, couple different flavours but I like the plain shit. I think they use different suppliers regionally, SW US is my jam, it seems to pack a lot more punch on the bubble front.

US - Topo Chico, technically this one is Mexican, but Coke bought it in 2017. It's great. Broadly available in the western US, but should be able to find it in specialty stores throughout the country.

Thailand - Singha in the stubby glass bottles is great.

Vietnam - Danh Thanh. In the glass bottles. If it's plastic bottles make sure it was bottled in the past 30-60 days at most.

These are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head.

Better out of glass than plastic. Glass cools the liquid and also cuts the risk of microplastics and leaching.

I'm lucky where I live. I think we have some of the best public water in the world. We have one thing right.

super depressing no one has mentioned La Croix (nb it's pronounced la-CROY). the best sparkling water in the entire world. very few minerals

Keep in mind that some sparkling waters, such as San Pellegrino [1] taste great IMO, but have pollutants in them you may care about. Worth considering adding that dimension to your chart.

Saratoga has consistently been my favorite sparkling water - highly recommend, though I’d imagine it’s hard to come by in Paris!

I’m a fan of extra spicy water, so in the US -

Topo Chico, the thick glass bottles

Jarritos Mineragua, also glass bottles, these are commonly flavored at taco trucks, but I only do plain

Proud Source sparkling, tall silver cans

Spindrift. Not pure water, but greatly improves by having just a little real fruit juice and being lighter on bubbles.

@vmaxmc2 Most sparkling waters are not naturally sparkling, co2 is injected. On the contrary, Rozanna and St Yorre and it seems St Géron are natural sparkling water ... and are the less liked ... You should add that info to your matrix

Why no Salvetat? https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Salvetat_(eau_min%C3%A9rale...

Unfortunately San Pellegrino is owned by Nestle, but yes, while usually not buying any bottled water (just using our excellent tap water), it's also my favourite.
