mineralvíz

Mineralvíz is a type of bottled water that contains a significant amount of dissolved minerals and trace elements. These minerals can include calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium, among others. The specific composition of minerals varies depending on the source of the water. Mineralvíz is typically sourced from underground springs or wells that have been naturally filtered through rock and soil, acquiring its mineral content during this process.

The taste of mineralvíz is often described as being different from regular drinking water due to its dissolved mineral content. Some people prefer this taste, while others find it less appealing. It is important to note that while some minerals are beneficial to health, the quantity and type of minerals in mineralvíz vary. Regulations exist in many countries to define what constitutes mineralvíz and to ensure its safety and quality.

The production of mineralvíz involves extracting the water from its source and bottling it, usually with minimal processing to preserve its natural mineral content. Sometimes, carbonation is added to create sparkling mineralvíz. Unlike purified or distilled water, mineralvíz is not stripped of its minerals. The term "mineralvíz" is often used interchangeably with "mineral water" in various regions.
