Not all water taste the same. Evian has a very clean, rounded taste that does remind me of drinking from mountain springs. The best water I ever had was the water from the mountain streams and waterfalls in the New Zealand Alps (they don't recommend drinking in without purifying it in case there's a dead animal floating in the water further upstream but I took the risk and survived. You could practically get drunk on that water, that's how refreshing and pure it tasted.

Local water is either desalinated and / or has sodium added to it. Neither particularly bothers me but it does taste more metallic than the bottled imported spring water. I drink a mixture of Evian, the local water and Highland Springs. Prefer the European exports by a good margin.
