London tap water has been rated superior to expensive mineral waters in a blind tasting conducted by some of the most sophisticated drinkers in the country.
At less than 1p per litre, it beat 20 bottled waters, including some which sell for £50 a litre, in the survey conducted by Decanter, the wine drinkers magazine.
The panel, made up of Masters of Wine, top sommeliers and some of the most experienced palates in the country, voted tap water supplied by Thames Water third equal in a tasting of 24 products.
The top scoring water was Waiwera , from New Zealand, which sells for £9 per litre at Claridge’s. This was followed by Vittell, which costs 39p a litre at Tesco.
The result comes a month after the National Consumer Council launched a campaign to force restaurants to offer free tap water.
Our recommendation is therefore that you don't buy your water, but do filter and chill it, using a cheap and easy to run water dispenser.
