With all the beverage varieties available at your local grocery store, it can be a little bewildering shopping for sparkling water. Part of the confusion is that the most common terms — enhanced, flavored, sparkling — are sometimes used interchangeably or in combination with each other. So we thought we would try to clear up some of the confusion.
Enhanced water— Enhanced water is sometimes used to describe any bottled water that has something added to it to improve taste or add nutrients. This can include natural or artificial flavors, carbonation, vitamins, minerals, caffeine or other additives. Most commonly, enhanced water is generally flat water that has vitamins, minerals, flavorings and other ingredients added to it. Many times these waters are marketed as sports, performance or energy drinks.
Flavored water — Flavored water is drinking water that has flavor added to it to provide taste. Flavors can be natural or artificial and the water can be carbonated or non-carbonated. Some flavored waters are purified through a filtering process and some are not. As we’ve mentioned, enhanced water has had flavor added to it as well so if you are looking for flavor and not the additives be sure to read the label.
Sparking water — Sparkling water is water that has carbonation in it either from a spring or artesian well that has absorbed carbon dioxide at high pressure underground. It can also be made by adding carbon dioxide (which is a liquid at very low temperatures) to water. As it warms up, the liquid carbon dioxide becomes a gas and creates the bubbles. It can be plain (seltzer) or flavored. As with any flavored water, the flavors can be artificial or natural and the water may or may not be purified.

"Thank you Syfo Original. I discovered you on a hot, humid August in Georgia. I have been hooked since. The glass bottle is the key for, it seems to hold the carbonation."
