Consumers splash out €45-a-pop on ‘designer water’

IT’S the ultimate in designer water, costs a whopping €45 a bottle but apparently tastes like plain old tap water.

That’s the view of Martina Delaney, one of the finest palates in the country and sommelier at one of Ireland’s best restaurants, l’Ecrivain on Baggot Street in Dublin.

Used to sampling the finest of fine wines, Ms Delaney was more than qualified to pick out just what makes Bling H2O worth €45 for just 750ml.
