Wegmans is a grocery store chain<\/a>, popular in the American Northeast. Their store brands have a reputation for being of higher quality<\/a>, rising above the stereotype of being “generic.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wegmans Tonic Water is sweetened with sugar. There’s 60 calories per 200 mL serving. Additional ingredients include citric acid, natural flavors and quinine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tasting notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fizz quality: <\/strong>Texturally small bubbles, tightly and highly concentrated on the front of the palate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aroma: <\/strong>Clean and crisp with mild notes of citrus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flavor: <\/strong>Again, quite crisp throughout. Mild intensity lemon lime flavor late on the palate. Moderately sweet\u2014 it has a bit more restraint than many other supermarket brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bitterness and quinine flavor is present; however, it is not pronounced. At a rather quiet volume, it’s terse and quickly fades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And tonic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I tested Wegmans Tonic Water with Yuletide Gin<\/a>. The mild sweetness amplified the gentle spice notes early, lending a bit of a “spice cake” quality. The bitterness was present on the finish, though a bit subtle. It really let the gin star through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Wegmans Tonic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Supermarket tonic waters and store brands often have a bad reputation. They’re presumed to be low quality, cloying and metallic. I’ve reviewed quite a few, and unfortunately I’ve found the negative reputation is well deserved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a nicely balanced supermarket tonic water for someone who likes a touch of sweetness, mild bitterness and a strong citrus flavor. Wegmans Tonic Water isn’t as good as a tonic from a company dedicated to making high quality mixers. However, it’s truly among the best store brand tonic waters on the market today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
