Yes. Luxury water. You read that correctly.

“Water is not just water,” says Michael Mascha, a founder of the Fine Water Society, a consortium of small bottlers and distributors worldwide. He likens consumers of high-end water to foodies who’d drive miles to find heirloom tomatoes or a rare salt. Some drink fine water instead of alcohol.

“Having the right stemware, drinking at the right temperature, pairing it with food, celebrating with water – all those kinds of things are important.”

Pairing it with food!

Penn & Teller had a show on cable years ago called Bull ****. One of the things they went after was “designer water”. That was the early 2000s.

That was a very uneven show, but the good episodes were very good.
