Luxury Bottled Rainwater from Tasmania "Never Touches the Ground"

Tasmanian Rain, the premium bottled rainwater from Tasmania, is now available for home delivery and at certain luxury hotels here in advance of its official U.S. launch next year.

The remote Australian island where it originates has the cleanest air on the planet according to the World Meteorological Organization, which is important since Tasmanian Rain never touches the ground.

The company says that gives it an edge in purity over any spring water, which can contain contaminants as a result of human byproducts that cannot be completely filtered out. Furthermore, Tasmanian Rain is a carbon neutral company, and only bottles their water in 100% recyclable glass.

So far it's been picked by several Ritz-Carlton hotels for their VIP suites, the Trump International in Chicago and Las Vegas, the Tides and The Biltmore hotels in Miami and the Four Seasons in Jackson Hole.

Tasmanian Rain is also about to launch in Dubai at the Jumeirah Hotel Group. Home delivery prices are $60 for a case of 12 750 ml bottles and $75 for a case of 24 375 ml bottles, available for order here.

Evian Les Petits Natural Spring Water

Evian has launched a new, smaller bottle of water -- with kid-friendly graphics and a reminder to moms that a few laps around the playground do leave Junior rather parched. The 330 mL mini bottle was designed to fit neatly into a kid's lunchbox, a child's grip and the back to school shopping list. The six-pack of French Alps water has a suggested retail price of $5.99 and will arrive on shelves this month.

Aqua Pure Breed: Bottled Mountain Spring Dog Water


We've covered bottled water for dogs before and apparently the trend is really taking off because now we're doing it again. Aqua Pure Breed is bottled mountain water for dogs that not only provides hydration but is also available in 4 different formulas to more personally meet your dog's healthy drinking needs. And Aqua Pure Breed promotes not only healthy drinking water for your pet but an overall healthy and active lifestyle by offering "Active Dog Guides" for major cities and they started the No Dog Left Behind program which encourages people to include their pet dogs into more areas of their lives. You can order online and get about a month's supply of water for $59.95.

Fillico Beverly Hills, $100 Bottled Water

We've covered blinged up water before (literally) and the latest addition to the collection is Fillico Beverly Hills. Coming out of Japan, the $100 bottles of water are made of frosted glass with gold paint and Swarovski crystal accents -- and for about double the price you can add gold wings and/or a gold or silver crown to the bottle (shown is a set of "King and Queen").

Not sure why they put "Beverly Hills" in the name, though, since the water is from a spring in Kobe and as of now it is mostly being distributed at the Ritz Carlton in Tokyo.

Evian Limited Edition Bottle By Christian Lacroix


When I mentioned the new Palace bottle by Evian a few weeks back, a few savvy commenters clued me in to the fact that a new Evian Limited Edition by flounce-loving French designer Christian Lacroix was on the way. Luxury Launches has uncovered the pictures of the bottles. There are two versions the Evian pret-a-porter which has a frosted lace pattern over the bottle and the Haute Couture version, a glass bottle in the shape of an ice queen with a voluminous alpine skirt. The pret-a-porter bottle will sell for around $6 in gourmet grocery stores. As for the Haute Couture version, I am guessing it will turn up on eBay at some point (the standard version of the Lacroix bottle is already there with a buy-it-now price of $50. At least these editions are not as unwieldy as the mountain-shaped bottles used for previous limited editions.

Luxury Hotel Adds Pricey Water List


It used to be that the wine list was one way to judge the quality of a restaurant, these days you might want to look at the water list. What was once a simple choice between sparkling and still has evolved as restaurants and hotels expand their water options. Decanter reports that the London hotel Claridge's will offer a water list featuring 30 mineral water brands from around the world, including the pricey 420 Volcanic from New Zealand which is priced at £50 a liter. The staff can offer help on food matching, for example they say that Finé from Shuzenji, Japan has a slightly sweet taste and is perfect for sushi, while Welsh water Llanllyr's goes well with salads. My question is whether the rising concern about bottled waters will nip this trend in the bud or whether exotic bottled waters will become a treat for special occasions.

Evian Palace Bottle


I've covered the fancy bottles from Evian before but their new bottle is even more lavish. The Palace Bottle comes with the Palace pourer and the the Palace coaster which basically turn the bottle into an elegant carafe for serving. The new deign will be available in select hotels, restaurants and clubs and will sell for $15 to $20.

Via Genova, A Cafe Devoted To Luxury Waters

While I've heard of a "water sommelier" at some restaurants in Los Angeles, in Bill and Hillary Clinton's adopted hometown of Chappaqua, New York there is a luxury water bar. Via Genova has nearly 80 different types of water from around the world including the 10 Thousand BC water from British Columbia for $30 U.S. and the crystal-covered Bling water for $55. The restaurant also serve a light menu. They will even cater water for events, doing water tastings and weddings. Would you go to a cafe just for the water?

Sei Water

Sei Water is another luxury water brand with unusual packaging. The bottles resemble flasks and are designed to easily fit into pockets and bags, unlike more traditionally shaped bottles, which are best held in-hand or set in a cupholder. They are available in sizes ranging from 275mL to 1L Once you have finished the natural spring water, the bottle can easily be reused. Price: $34/ case of 12 1L bottles.

Designer Water Brands

If you need to get your fix of designer water, like Bling h20, you might want to try taking a look at the selection of luxury bottled water at Aqua Distribution. Their selection of high-end waters runs from Llanllyr water, which has been drawn from the same spring since 1180 BCE to a limited edition 2007 Evian that comes in a custom bottle. As you might guess from the name, they sell the water buy the case. This shouldn't be a problem as long as you intend to drink more than just one bottle of water and, as luxury water is still a must-have accessory for those who are out to be seen, going through a case should take no time at all.

Bling H2O

Ordinary bottled water is for ordinary people, but for those who really have a taste for the finer things, Bling H2O could be the perfect thirst-quencher. The water comes corked in a 750mL, frosted glass bottle that is studded generously with Swarovski crystals and is far more impressive than anything you'd find in the regular supermarket. It is designed to be a fashion statement and, although the bottle is fairly large, you can tell more about someone carrying one of these around than about someone with a bottle of Arrowhead water - at least, you can according to creator Kevin G. Boyd. More than just an accessory, the water tastes good, too. It won the Gold Medal for taste at the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Festival. Bling H2O is priced at $35 per bottle.
