Vienna tourism director Norbert Kettner last week called for an end to the Sierra Leone campaign, describing it as "an attempt by certain gastronomes to reduce service using the excuse of a charity action." "The good reputation of Destination Vienna is compromised," by such actions, Kettner said, describing the free glass of water "as a traditional service in Vienna's gastronomy."

In Vienna's legendary coffee-house tradition, a free glass of tap water with your coffee has been a cherished part of everyday life, ronald zakap By George Jahn Associated Press VIENNA In Vienna's legendary coffee-house tradition, a free glass of tap water with your coffee has been cherished.

Now many Viennese are steaming by restaurateurs who want to start charging for tap. It amounts to cultural sacrilege in a city where delicious tap water fed by Alpine springs is seen as a birthright, and part of the whole experience of lounging in centuries-old cafes or the capital's outdoor eateries.
