BOTTLED WATERS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE


Bottled Waters of the World
I sample waters from across the globe, some are easy to find, have good distribution and plenty of information. Others, not so much. Presented here are bottled waters from every corner of the earth and I have provided as many details as possible.
