UK waters
If you’d like to drink British, these score highest.
Criterion: Waters from the UK with a Waterphile Score, highest first.
Why it matters
UK law has three categories: natural mineral water, spring water and bottled drinking water. Natural mineral waters must be officially recognised, and GOV.UK publishes the list. How scores work →
