Empty the bottle and refill from the kitchen tap.

INCORRECT.

Shops can sell ANYTHING after its BEST BEFORE DATE, at ANY PRICE they desire.

Only goods which have a USE BY DATE cannot legally be sold at any price after that date.

Please check your facts before posting misleading information.

Full stop.

Tap water is tested for 62 different things so is much safer to drink than mineral water or bottled water. Both of these come under different laws, one is only tasted for 10 things which doesn't include micro and some of the toxic minerals.
Some bottled waters can have high concentrations of some minerals which under EU law are classed as toxic in tap water and would have to be removed.
Absolutely nothing wrong with bottled water but I know it's a taste issue.
If you have hard water then a water filter jug is a very good investment

Fused through mountains for thousands of years....then has a best before date on the bottle....hmmm

Yep, and the reason for that is that the bottle starts to disintegrate and spoils the water. If you want to drink the best water there is, run the tap for 60 seconds or so and then pour yourself a glass. Bottled water is simply a tax on the stupid!
