Is sparkling water refined or pointless? For some, it can compliment a meal as well as a fine wine, whilst for others, it is almost blasphemy to suggest such an idea. Whatever your preferences around the bubbles, there are days, especially hot ones, when you are truly parched, and only uncarbonated, pure, cool water will do. There is an offer of something that just doesn’t quite measure up to what it is you crave. Don’t settle for anything that you are not absolutely sure will quench your thirst.
