Last time I was in Venice, discovering many a blind alley, bottled water was just coming into vogue in Europe and hadn't caught on in the US.

The last time I was in Venice -- must have been around 1980 -- we all drank bottled water (we also drank it when I lived in Germany in the early '70's). Bottled water was the ONLY water we drank -- although it was not the bottled water we know today. THESE bottles were large glass ones for serving more than one person at a time. They delivered it by the case to our villa in Vicenza and our haus in Heilbronn.
