The Water Class [pun with water glass]
ClassÁcqua
[I like this one best] works off the notion of classique and class[y] and appeals to the American idea of Italo-franco-euro-something... with an accent aigu on the capital A.
Chicacqua ; that\'s funny
Acqua Rica: There are a lot of Spanish-sounding and -based words in Us Marketing these days.
Acqua Qualitativa [Latinate]
A.D.
Aqueous Distinction
People spend hours on these things. Hope you are charging extra!

"high-quality water"
En effet, le jeu de mots est dificile à rendre en Anglais,
J'essaierais de dire:
"top quality water"
"refined water"
"fine-tasting water"
"delectable water"
"water of superior taste and quality"
"A hard-to-beat spring water"
"Thirsty for tasty water?"
Ici, s'arrêtent mes inspirations.
J'espère qu'elles te mettront sur la bonne voie! :°)

Caution: Avoid writing \"top water\" as it is water percolating through the roof of a mine !!

The connoisseur's choice: water!
Maybe it was something like "XYZ: eau de gamme" where XYZ is the brand name, then it would be "The connoisseur's choice: water XYZ!"
