Spanish term or phrase: Otras bebidas: jugos y ***aguas***
"Otras bebidas: jugos y aguas"

Es el título de una sección de un documento que trata sobre la fusión de dos empresas cerveceras.

¿Qué serían las "aguas" en Colombia? ¿Gaseosas?

El documento no dice nada más sobre esto, la pregunta que sigue al título es: "Se sabe que ABC es una industria netamente de producción cervecera, ¿Qué va pasar con los otros rubros de bebidas de XYZ? ¿ABC se desligará?"

Gracias.

agree  Jairo Payan: Aquí en Colombia lo de las aguas se refiere a "agua embotellada", con gas, sin gas, con limón, etc. Hay varios fabricantes, entre ellos la Coca Cola, y no son nada baratas!

Explanation:
Estoy pensando en las "aguas" de limón, jamaica, tamarindo y horchata que son las tradicionales en México, a lo mejor en Colombia es similar. Pero no creo que se trate de "agua embotellada".

y por qué no simplemente "waters"???


Explanation:
Por qué no mantener la ambigüedad del original en lugar de jugarnos por algo en concreto? algo que quizás no esté implicado? Digo yo... es una humilde opinión...
Al decir aguas, estamos incluyendo tanto las saborizadas, como las no saborizadas, las gasificadas y no gasificadas.

ades


Explanation:
Like Henry and Marcelo, I understand this to mean "ades" -- a sweetened drink made from water and fruit juice (that is, flavored water). "Ades" sounded odd to me (I like Marcelo's neutral "flavored waters"), but I Googled:
ades beverages
and got 26,000 hits (see below and www.census.gov/prod/ec97/97numlist/312.pdf). When I saw how "ades" is used, it seemed like a possbility for your context. Cheers!

Seeing two, possible three, Colombians saying it's simply (bottled) water, I wonder if flavored water might not be something relatively new on the market (y aún desconocido por muchos colombianos). If it were bottled water, why not say "embotellada" (o "en funda" si se vende así, como en la República Dominicana).

In fact, maybe "aguas" refers to both forms, bottled and "bagged water" (si esta forma de verder el agua existe en Colombia).

Naturally, I bought a box of this **bagged water** with the intention of writing an
article in ... Since **bagged water** is clearly superior to bottled for pocket ...
