I have not been able to find it in Nanaimo at all. I will have to wait till my next trip to Vancouver. Antipodes is very hard to find. I have not been able to find it in Nanaimo at all.

I think I will have to bottle the worlds finest water for you. It comes from Sorrento BC of course, where the air is so fresh and clean, that the water is purified as it falls from the sky!

Rock on. In addition, I found a bottle of sparkling water from Greece that I liked this week very much called, IOLI. Due to it not being sold in cafes, however, it wouldn't have qualified anyway.

Funny, and engaging. I'm looking forward to the next post too - its like candy....well in my case its like a large hazelnut Lindt bar.....mmmm. Some additional thoughts about the water cup off: I think Perrier is totally over rated and worn out.....as a brand. Antipodes would be so cooler if they actually had a name that people could say and sounds good on the lips.. Montewhatever - the only thing its got going for it is that its from Italy... San Pellegrino - its beautiful on the lips ...its easy to say San Pellegrino and sound for a moment like you are an Italian.....and in the bigger size - its like having a bottle of wine at your table.

A travesty. I can’t believe Perrier didn’t win, and worse, my two least favorite waters in terms of brand AND taste came first and second.
