The Berkeley Springs Inn-Best Western Conference Centre in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia was crowded as 11 media judges spent hours tasting and selecting from among 82 waters sourced in twenty-one states and ten foreign countries. There were 32 municipal waters from a dozen states, Canada, South Korea and Thailand.
Canadian Gold Beverages Owner Peter de Jong, said: “It is like winning the Olympics for bottled water! No company, in 40 years, has ever won in both categories for bottled Artesian Still Water and Sparkling Mineral (carbonated) water. We are extremely pleased about this; we’ve got the best tasting water in the world, right here in Southeastern Manitoba!”
The 11 media judges included representatives from various regional and national media including TV and online magazines. They were instructed by von Wiesenberger to look, sniff and taste each water under guidelines similar to those in a wine tasting.
