Bottled water
Posted: Tue October 5, 2004 07:45 PM UTC

HI,

Here in the USA, we like to carry small bottles of water to drink during the day. Are these available in Chernivitsi, and are they safe.

Thanks

It's cheap less than 50 cents for a small bottle, but cheaper if you buy big bottles from a supermarket.

A good idea is to purchase a well known brand. Some places bottle local water and put a bootleg label on, as I found out in Camyanets Podilsky. So check the seal and label.

Bonaqua is probably the most popular mineral water. I prefer mineral water without gas, as some Ukrainian mineral waters with gas taste like battery acid, especially Mirgorodska - that's how I imagine battery acid to taste like. It tastes 10 times worse if you leave it to go warm and then drink it.

By the way, I found that most bottled water in Ukraine is carbonated. If you want non-carbonated, ask for 'Nye gazovana voda' .

bottled water is very good in ukraine and there are plenty of different tastes. I agree its best to buy a big can like 5 ltr. without gas, and then poor in a small bottle, very cheap and u can brush ur teeth with it as well.
Luhanska voda is very good as well as the mineral waters from Morshin

have a great time in Chernivtsi
