The two default “nice still waters,” a shade apart. Acqua Panna is the lighter, silkier one — TDS 188, low in everything, famous for a smooth, faintly velvety texture that sommeliers pour with white wine. Evian is nearly twice as mineral (TDS 357) with more calcium and bicarbonate, so it drinks rounder and slightly chalkier, more presence than polish.
Pick Acqua Panna for texture — the soft, easy glass that never interrupts. Pick Evian for a bit of backbone and the sense of drinking from an alpine source rather than from nowhere.
