Much like a bus (only a more efficient, better looking and stylish one) we wait months, maybe years, for a post on Sweden and then two totally unrelated, yet equally intriguing, stories hit our inbox in quick succession. This may be as far removed from boutique creative accommodation as could be, yet there must be something in the ice-cool Scandinavian air. Much like you wouldn’t expect boutique hotels to be dishing out rooms for nothing, you probably also would not have put money on someone producing sparkling wine from a birch tree. Back in 1785, however, that’s precisely what somebody did, and as you would expect, it didn’t catch on.
It wasn’t until recently, whilst indexing a unique archive containing 300 years worth of reports, essays and articles, that environmental engineer Peter Mosten stumbled across this ancient recipe. Curiosity got the better of him, and after a decade of experimentation Morsten finally achieved his labour of love, Sav™ sparkling elixir. Sav™’s content of natural sugars, calcium, phosphor, magnesium, manganese, zinc and iron mean that drinking, in theory, could be a relatively healthy experience, and whilst we’re not entirely sure that this will stand up as a marketing campaign for the fledgling company, it’s more than enough of an excuse for us. Cheers!
