The «Berg» table water brand, which is produced with glacier ice from Greenland, has been awarded the «Devil’s Stone» 2020. A clear majority of the public vote of the Alpine Initiative selected the water, which is sold in Manor department stores, as the most absurd product. The melted glacier ice is transported over 9,600 kilometres, and appears particularly cynical in view of the melting polar ice caps. The «Rock Crystal» is awarded to the «Culinary Autumn”, a collaboration of alpinavera and GastroGraubünden. The project raises awareness for regional cuisine and strengthens local supply chains.
