Why not make a fun New Year’s resolution to become a wine expert in 2012? Whistler Water recently paid a visit to our friends at Everything Wine to learn wine tasting tricks and techniques from the professionals. Not only did we pick up some great tips but we were also thrilled to learn that there is no better accompaniment to a glass of wine than water, as it can help cleanse your palate as well as keep you hydrated. Listen: Everything Wine on 650AM

If you are a wine lover, make sure you join Whistler Water at the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival in February where you can sample from some of the world’s best bottles.

With the winter chill in the air, those who enjoy outdoor recreation generally aren’t as worried about losing fluids as they are in the warmer months. Dehydration is the number one performance inhibitor among athletes even when the temperatures plummet. So, if you are heading outside for your first workout of 2012 take quick read of this article from Shape Magazine and make sure you have a bottle of Whistler Water in your hand as both will help you stay ahead of the game.

Make a date this New Year to broaden your mind. If you haven’t already heard about TED Talks it is a great online site that allows you to easily learn new and exciting topics. TED video lectures bring together some of the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. One that really caught our eye recently was given by Dr. Mike Biddle, founder of MPA Polymer Plastics, as he brought to our attention the huge scope of products that can be recycled. Check out this informative video and don’t forget to join the thousands who have signed Whistler Water’s Let The Bottle Live On Pledge in the past year.

We aren’t usually ones for tooting our own horns but Whistler Water was recently recognized internationally as a finalist at the Water Innovation Awards in Brazil. This annual event recognizes innovation in water technology but also environmental and philanthropic work by water companies and we are just a little bit proud to have been nominated this year.

Whistler Water was a finalist in both the Best Ethical/Humanitarian Initiative category, for our work with partner Free The Children, but also in the Best Environmental Sustainability Initiative category for our Let The Bottle Live On Pledge. This was a great global honor for our small company and we invite you to log on and find out more about our pursuits.

Day and Night – Water Is Truly The Ultimate Drink

A Fraser Health cardiac specialist recently opened our eyes even more to the health benefits that water can provide. We all know H2O is great for us but did you know that there are times of the day where drinking water can be even more beneficial? Whistler Water thought we would share this cool information with you to help you get the most out of your daily water intake.

The cardiac specialist recommends:

2 glasses of water after waking up – this helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal – helps digestion and can aid weight loss
1 glass of water before taking a bath – lowers blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed – helps to avoid stroke or heart attack

Japan Needs Support – You Can Help Too

Whistler Water — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 18:59:28 +0000

The devastating earthquake and tsunami Japan experienced on March 11, 2011 has the country reaching out for assistance. While recovery efforts are expected to last for a considerable time, urgency is required to help the people of Japan meet basic needs – food, water, shelter.

From our key partner in Tokyo we have learned that the biggest challenges right now are the logistics of getting key products to affected areas of Japan. Accordingly, it is imperative that we all do what we can to support existing humanitarian groups who understand the situation and logistics within Japan.

To that end, Whistler Water has forged a relationship with the Red Cross Society, whose tireless efforts in the Japan relief campaign are having a considerable impact on the improvement of the Japan crisis. Here in Vancouver, we can all lend our support by contributing to established organizations like the Red Cross Society.

Every little bit counts. Click here to donate directly to Red Cross Japan Relief

Meanwhile, at home, 10 cents from the sale of every bottle of Whistler Water sold at YVR is going to the Red Cross Society’s relief efforts. Whistler Water has been calling upon its partners to expedite orders into Japan. While the on-the-ground situation in Japan remains very difficult, Whistler Water is doing all it can to help meet the needs of the Japanese people. In this way we hope to support Japan in this difficult time.

Please consider giving if you are able.

Below is a clip from Global TV detailing further the crisis in Japan

Stay Cool in the Heat of Valentine’s Day

Whistler Water — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 19:01:40 +0000

With one of the most romantic weekends of the year about to unfold (Valentines Day falls on Monday this year, so its sort of like a 3-day build up), Whistler Water would like to remind you to stay hydrated! Water is always essential to our constitution, but becomes particularly poignant in times of increased celebration.

After reviewing our list of good friends and partners in the marketplace, we have come up with a few romantic suggestions for the coming days from your friends at Whistler Water…

1. Cook a romantic meal at home.

First, stop in at Urban Fare Yaletown to hand select some of the most sensual items you can put on any menu. Fresh passion fruit, artisanal chocolate, and stunning pastries can add spice to any intimate menu.

Next, drop in for luscious bottle of sparkling at Liberty Wine Merchants (with whom Whistler Water partnered again in the spectacular Taste BC earlier this year). We suggest something light and fruity to stimulate the senses like a blanc-de-blanc from the cooler growing regions of the Okanagan.

Finally, a trip to the always-inspiring Whole Foods West Vancouver for fresh cut flowers and scented candles sets the mood for the ultimate stay-at-home Valentines…

2. Make a night of it.

When we look for the ultimate in chic Vancouver experiences, we tend to turn to our friends at The Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver for help. Book a stunning room overlooking the North Shore Mountains and revel in the opulence of one of Vancouvers top properties. We suggest a memorable dining experience at the modern Yew Restaurant followed by mid-morning room service on a lazy weekend morning.

Consider beginning the evening at the nearby Pacific Cinematheque to catch a sophisticated art-house film that will stimulate conversation…

Whistler Water is available at all of the locations we mentioned above. We wish you and yours the happiest of Valentines Days and urge you to stay hydrated.
