mazandcol Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Good afternoon all, I've been buying Soda Water (proper soda water, NOT simply gassed water) online for quite a while now, as it's impossible to find in any shops round here. Tonic Water's freely available anywhere, but not Soda Water. However, I can no longer find it even online in France. One by one each supplier has stopped supplies! It's nowhere to be found. Anybody had the same problem? Has anybody got any idea why Soda Water has suddenly become a forbidden product, or even better does someone know a supplier...

DaveLister Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I thought Soda water was just a generic term for carbonated water. What's the difference svp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazandcol Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Soda Water has Bicarbonate of Soda in it, the other 'gassey' stuff is just pumped with CO2 - i.e. carbonated with carbon gas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Something like this, perhaps? https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B0B4SL12W9/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2M2WS8MG0NN7M&keywords=soda%2Bwater&qid=1696253945&sprefix=soda%2Bwater%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-5&th=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLister Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 or maybe this one https://www.bienmanger.com/1F22879_Fever_Tree_Ginger_Soda_Water.html according to amazon.com it contains Bicarbonate of soda ( and no ginger 😆 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazandcol Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thanks anotherbanana, that's the right stuff, but what a price???? Over 11 euros a litre plus delivery. Ouch!!!! Thanks anyway, much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazandcol Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thank you Dave, at least the price is a little better, maybe I'll have to bite the bullet if I want it. I still don't understand the problem and why the cost is so stupid (other than Fever Tree is overpriced). The 20cl bottles cost as much as I used to pay for a litre. What's happened. Thanks anyway.

menthe Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Why don't you just drink the stuff neat? Save all the faffing about with mixing?😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazandcol Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Nothing to do with mixing menthe, but it would save a lot of faff if it was! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hectorsdad Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I was sent to Sainsbury’s this year to buy soda water and found litre bottles at 80p. Other supermarkets are much the same. My Dad always had a drinks trolley at Christmas and it included a soda water dispenser. He told me the water inside was just carbonated water but as it emerged from the spout it was infused with bicarbonate of soda to give a subtle flavour and an ability to hold its bubbles when mixed with alcoholic drinks.
