A British restaurant is launching the UK's first water menu
Food & drink UK Water availabilityFacebookTweetLink Follow The French are known for their love of fine wines. La Popote, a French-style restaurant in northern England, is no exception. The Michelin Guide-listed eatery in the county of Cheshire offers diners the choice of almost 140 varieties of wine. But now the business is taking a bold step to cater for discerning non-drinkers by offering an entire menu of bottled water. Diners will have the choice of three different bottles of still water and four sparkling beginning Friday, as well as complimentary tap water. La Popote is tapping into a global trend away from alcohol. For example, based on a Gallup poll last year, 58% of adult Americans drink alcohol, down from 67% in 2022. A growing number of Americans are giving up alcohol, whether permanently or temporarily, while many restaurants are offering a bigger range of mocktails, and sober bars and non-alcoholic bottle shops are becoming increasingly popular. Chef Joseph Rawlins, who founded and runs La Popote with his French partner Gaëlle Radigon, said they had initially been approached about the idea by Doran Binder, who was already supplying the restaurant with their 'house' water under his Crag Spring Water brand. A water sommelier, certified by the Fine Water Academy, Binder first suggested the idea of a water menu to the couple three years ago. 'I laughed it off,' Rawlins told CNN. 'I initially thought it was a ridiculous idea.' But when Binder invited the couple to a tasting at the 'water bar' he owns in the Peak District, a national park in north-central England, they were sold. 'It was mind-blowing,' Rawlins said of the experience, adding that he now believes that 'water isn't just water.' At that first tasting, they tried five or six different varieties. 'Then we did a second tasting with exactly the same waters but we paired them with certain foods – like Manchego cheese, Comté cheese, chocolate, Parma ham, olives. Like with a wine, the taste just changed.' The restaurant is the first in Britain to offer a water menu, according to Binder, and one of only a handful in the world. Binder curated La Popote's water menu, which features a selection from across Europe, including Britain, France, Spain and Portugal. Prices range from £5 ($6.80) for a large bottle of his Crag brand to £19 ($26) for The Palace of Vidago, a Portuguese sparkling water. 'The measurement of minerals in water is what drives taste and flavor,' Binder told CNN. That measurement is called Total Dissolved Solids, or TDS, he said. 'Distilled water is zero TDS. It's brilliant for cleaning windows, brilliant for electrical appliances, brilliant for your car battery – rubbish for the human being,' he said, noting that sea water is at the other end of the spectrum with 30,000-40,000 TDS. The restaurant's range goes from 14 TDS in the Lauretana sparkling mineral water from Italy to 3,300 for the Vichy Celastins from France. The French water initially tastes rather salty, Rawlins said. 'Then you put it with something that's quite salty like a Parma ham and they both naturally balance each other out, so the water is not salty anymore and it's a longer-lasting flavor of the ham in your mouth.' How the water is served is also important, Rawlins said. 'We recommend it at room temperature with ice and a slice of lemon. Water is like wine – if it's too cold, it kills all the flavor.' The water menu is giving diners 'another dimension,' he added, noting that 'a lot of people are drinking less now.' Binder, who has never drunk alcohol, agrees. 'There are more and more people who don't drink alcohol, like me. I'm a massive foodie and when I go to a restaurant they can't wait to throw a wine menu in front of my nose, which will never be of interest to me. 'But put a water menu in front of me and now you've opened up a whole new revenue stream. It's appealing to restaurants and it's appealing to more and more health-conscious people and really it's all about the epicurean experience.' Jordan Valinsky contributed to this report.

The Dallas Cowboys haven't won big in 30 years. Or have they?
On a Hollywood red carpet last week, Jerry Jones, the owner of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, was asked about his team's upcoming season. 'If we get that offensive line rolling,' Jones told an interviewer, 'we'll have a good team.' What counts as a "good" season is more subjective in Dallas than anywhere else — and it's why, ever since Jones purchased the team for $140 million in 1989, there has been no other North American professional sports franchise quite like the Cowboys. Since they won Super Bowls in 1992, 1993 and 1995, the Cowboys have not advanced to a conference championship game in 30 years, the fourth-longest active drought in the NFL. That lack of on-field performance would typically doom a franchise's relevance. Not the Cowboys. Since the 1996 season, Dallas has employed eight head coaches, irked several of its biggest superstars during drawn-out contract negotiations and lost 13 of its last 18 playoff games. Yet with Jones keenly keeping them in the conversation, they have won the mindshare of a global audience. The reason Jones was strolling the red carpet was the premiere of "America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys," a Netflix docuseries about Jones and his team's decades of drama. It began streaming only days after Sportico ranked the Cowboys as the NFL's most valuable franchise, with a worth north of $12 billion. Last year, CNBC also ranked Dallas as the NFL's most valuable team, while Forbes named it the world's most valuable sports franchise. The Cowboys' value and mystique have been perpetually increased by Jones, 82, who carries official titles of owner, president and general manager of the team while also serving as its chief ringmaster, one uniquely attuned to what fans want. "I do believe if we're not being looked at, then I'll do my part to get us looked at," Jones said at the Netflix premiere. "The beautiful thing for networks, if you will, streaming companies, is that the NFL is a 365-day-a-year interest factory. A lot of programming you have to spend as much ... to promote it as you to do make it. The Cowboys are a soap opera 365 days a year. When it gets low, I'll stir it up." And few teams capitalize on and court that attention like they do. Despite their 7-10 record in 2024, 13 games involving the team still ranked among the 100 most-watched prime-time telecasts of last year, which tied with Kansas City for most among all NFL teams. To no surprise, six Dallas games will be broadcast nationally and in prime time this season, second only to Kansas City. According to Fanatics, the global sports merchandise retailer, the team ranks among the five best-selling teams on its platform, across all sports, since 2023. Dallas' merchandise has been sold in more than 110 countries. The Cowboys have reached the divisional round of the playoffs, one round away from the NFC championship, four times since 2009, only to lose all four times. Last year, their playoff hopes were doused by midseason after an injury to quarterback Dak Prescott. And yet they remained the NFL's hottest ticket in 2024. On StubHub, the online ticket retailer, the Cowboys sold not only the most tickets of any team, but they did so overwhelmingly — selling 63% more tickets than the second-ranked team. Entering this season, few are buying Jones' team as a title contender. Only 1% of futures bets on DraftKings Sportsbook have been placed on the Cowboys to win the NFC championship, according to a company spokesperson. Still, that hasn't depressed demand to watch Dallas play, with the team selling more tickets entering the 2025 season than any other team — including 40% more than the even the second-ranked Buffalo Bills, according to a StubHub spokesperson. It costs 89% less to watch Buffalo, a Super Bowl contender featuring the reigning Most Valuable Player in Josh Allen, on the road this year than the Cowboys, according to the company. The spokesperson wrote that the Dallas spike may reflect several factors, "including the team's national fan base and widespread brand recognition." Beyond the revenue they bring in, the Cowboys have understood how to win the attention economy, too. The latest Netflix docuseries isn't the streamer's first foray into the Cowboys' culture. After the docuseries 'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' debuted in the summer of 2024, it was ranked in Netflix's global top 10 for English TV for four consecutive weeks, and it was ranked among the top 10 U.S. TV shows for five straight weeks, according to the company. It wound up ranked in the top-10 TV list for 27 countries — proving yet again that the team's success or failure on the field are only notionally connected to its popularity. (It has been renewed for a third season.) In 2010, the Cowboys topped Nielsen's media-exposure rankings in part by producing the largest gross audience during nationally televised games. More than a decade later, that exposure transcends borders. In 2024, one firm's analysis of Google search data suggested that more Google searches per month were Cowboys-related than there were any other team. Much of that interest could be attributed to decisions stoked by Jones. In the winter, his promotion of the team's offensive coordinator to head coach was received unfavorably locally. He has prolonged contract talks in recent seasons with Prescott and receiver CeeDee Lamb before he reached deals on the eve of the regular season. The situation has led to calls for Jones to step down as the general manager overseeing the roster but kept the Cowboys a nonstop sports-talk topic. This month, the cycle has repeated again with star defender Micah Parsons. Since Parsons, who is seeking a lucrative new contract, asked for a trade this month, Jones has regularly held media briefings during the team's preseason practices and offered cryptic updates. On the red carpet, Jones acknowledged that when he bought the Cowboys in 1989, he personally had only a fraction of the required money to actually pay for them, relying on borrowed money to make up the difference, and that once he was in charge, he was "winging" running an NFL franchise, losing what he said was often $1 million per month. But what Jones knew, instinctually, was how to keep eyes on his team. When the Cowboys opened a new stadium in 2009, it included a new innovation. To walk from their locker room to the field, Cowboys players had to use a tunnel that passed between a pair of glass-walled lounges from which high-paying fans could watch. 'It is wonderful to have the great athletes and the great players, but there's something more there," Jones said last week. "There's sizzle, there's emotion, and, if you will, there's controversy. That controversy is good stuff in terms of keeping and having people's attention.'
