The fine liquids community water tasting on Twitch.tv with Perrier as the main attraction promises to be an international event. Water sommeliers from all over the world are invited to share their expertise and opinions. This Friday, they'll be live on camera to offer their taste comments on Perrier and share their knowledge of the French mineral water's source and history.
As viewers watch the livestream, the water sommeliers will guide them through a sensory journey. They described Perrier's effervescent texture and emphasized the subtle mineral notes that make up its unique character. The green, club-shaped bottle in which Perrier is offered is an international symbol of its quality and elegance.
Perrier's history goes back a long way and has a fascinating connection to the past. Rumor has it that the Romans already knew of the spring, and even Hannibal is said to have refreshed himself there in 218 BC before crossing the Alps. While this is not definitively proven, there is one established fact: In 1863, Emperor Napoleon III gave permission for the construction of a hotel and spa around the Perrier Spring. The chief physician at the time, D. Louis Perrier, became the namesake of the water.
Over time, control of the plant changed, and finally, around 1900, the Englishman St. John Harmsworth took over the company. Under his leadership, Perrier began bottling its mineral water for the first time and selling it worldwide. This move helped make Perrier an internationally known brand, available in over 140 countries.
The water tasting on Twitch.tv promises not only a pleasurable experience, but also a journey of discovery into the world of Perrier mineral water. Viewers can interact with the water sommeliers, ask questions and share their own experiences and preferences. It is a unique opportunity to explore the highly acclaimed French mineral water and discover the subtleties of its taste.
