Canadian Gold Beverages, located in Marchand, Manitoba, recently received a gold medal for “Best Sparkling Bottled Water” and silver medal for “Best Still Bottle Water” at the annual 2017 Berkeley’s International Water Tasting Competition.

The Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting, the world’s most prestigious, gave out awards to waters from three continents. Sparkling waters are sourced from eight countries.

“The consistency in winners from year to year with different panels of judges validates the choices,” remarked perennial watermaster, Arthur von Wiesenberger. “It also speaks to the impressively high caliber of the waters entered.”

The audience was filled with water enthusiasts coming from as far as New Zealand and Norway. Eleven media judges spent hours tasting and selecting from waters sourced in 19 states, five Canadian provinces and 12 foreign countries. “There were waters from two new countries this year: Costa Rica and Fiji. They joined waters from Italy, Bosnia, Greece and Australia,” said Jeanne Mozier, an event founder.

Canadian Gold Beverages is the only company which qualified in the top with both bottled Still Water and Sparkling Mineral Water, proven again to be best tasting in North America for its bottled water category.
