Bestes Marketing! So muss ein Mineralwasser daherkommen und vermarktet werden. Qualität mittelmässig.

Low quality water. Strong aftertaste. A pure marketing success.

excellent: Simon Sarkozy India, India 2011-Jul-13
Evian, in my opinion, is the best I have tasted. I have acquired a fine taste for it. The smooth taste fortunately lacks the metallic sensation I often find in some bottled waters. It is just super

Excellent water!Like from granmas well!Love it! i drink it everyday and enjoy!

excellent: Lynn Carpenter Orlando, FL 2009-Dec-13
My favorite, a good strong, clean mineral taste. Good magnesium content, which I like. Also it's not salty tasting like the big supermarket brands. As I grew up drinking deep well water, this is the taste I like. Would drink it every day--in fact drink twice as much compared to other brands.

This water contains 1.5ìg/l of uranium. Thus it can not be considered to be healthy. Tastes much like plastic.

too expensive for its quality

not much difference to the tap water here in luxemburg. i don't undedrstand why people would spend a penny on it, unless they find the bottles cool (which they actaully are)

In Mexico, when I discovered Evian, I told myself " I will drink Evian, until I can no longer afford it."

NOT ALL WATER is the same. If someone believes that then they have never had a chemistry class. The waters I like generally have good mineral content and come close to the natural blood pH of 7.4. But what would I know? I am only 43 with a better looking body than a 23 year old.

excellent: Birdi Wellington, New Zealand 2007-May-28
I love Evian, it was the first water I ever drank that I actually loved the taste of, and will by it as a treat in preference to a soft drink. The New Zealand sourced (I live in New Zealand) mineral waters taste very hard in comparison.

Not much better than the water I drink by mistake when I go swimming in the lake!

people, its water! it's practically all the same, unless it's flavored or something. i, personally, don't really care what brand it is. its all water nonetheless. i do not remember how its any different from any other brand other than Propel (flovored) or the carbonhydrated stuff.

very good: Daithi Berlin, Germany 2006-Nov-26
I like this water for every day drinking. I drink the Still version and if is refreshing and leaves a very pleasant aftertaste. It is particularly nice when direct out of the fridge, but even at room temp, it is nice.

Back in the early 90's, Evian exploded on the market while pronouncing itself to be the coolest thing since sliced bread. And for a while, I would spend the money on it thinking I was doing my body extra good because Evian had such a great reputation; not to mention how attractive the bottles themselves are. The bottles even used to have a World Wildlife Foundation logo on them, with a cute little panda icon, as they donated 10% of each bottle sold to the foundation (which they no longer do). But after finding out that the local tap water here in NYC is actually superior to Evian, I have realized a couple of things. One, is that cute bottles do not a good water make. And two, is that EVIAN spelt backwards is NAIVE. And that's exactly what you are if you buy into their hype ad are willing to drop $2 on substandard water.

not so good: Jenni South Carolina, US 2005-Sep-12
Never been a fan of the Evian really. It has a peculiar aftertaste, somewhat salty, even though the sodium content supposedly isn't THAT high. I'll only drink this on a very hot day, if no other water is available, including that from a garden hose.

good: anonym Hannover, Germany 2005-Aug-14

I like this water, but it leaves an aftertaste. I can't quite put my finger on what it is, but it is not the most pleasant I have tasted. Otherwise, a very good, clean water.

Overpriced and lacking in good taste. Not the great water that folks make it out to be. I had a Dutch friend who laughed and told me it was French tap water. I have tasted French tap and that is exactly what Evian tastes like.

not so good: Yoji Takano Tokyo, Japan 2004-Jun-7
Though its brilliant sales promotion, The taste of evian is predictable. Neither hard nor soft, innocuous but never unique.

Das "stille" Wasser ist gut beim Essen zu trinken, doch leider ist es seit der Übernahme durch Danone zu teuer geworden!

not so good: S Gonzalvez Colnbrook, UK, 2003-Sep-8
The first time I drank Evian was also the last and very long ago. I found the taste hard and highly mineralised. While I agree it is overpriced, it is still a bargain compared with what they charge you for other brands of mineral water in English pubs.

very good: rsmacdon Toronto, Canada, 2003-Aug-6
A great water (clean tasting), but best from their GLASS bottles. We now buy it by the case of large glass bottles.

The water tastes just like our tape water, and the bottle design is very normal.

excellent: WateringCan Toronto, Ontario, 2003-Jul-20
I have drank alot of different types of water. When it comes to my favourite water, it would have to be Evian. It has a very nice unique flavour, and also gives a nice refreshing taste when served very cold. Also knowing there bottling technique's and how hygenic the company is makes it even more appealing! I will always drink Evian water as long as I am alive.

Taste like drinking chalk. Perhaps I am wrong. The water is plain. Nothing special. The plastic containers give the water a unique plastic fragrance making the water more plastic in taste. Perhaps I'd rather drink from tap water. Somewhat low in mineral, but the salts seems to be above average. Maybe overrated.

I am mystified by the popularity of this water. I suppose a clever ad agency can sucker most people into thinking they have a desirable product. I don't like the way this stuff tastes, particularly compared to some of the really excellent waters out there like Trinity or Fiji.

'It's clearly one of the most overestimated waters on the planet...And comes with such price that one can't help asking himself how it can be so successful. Plenty of better waters in the world, Evian is just living on the ''brand''.'
