Sypholux
'Spritz' (soda+wine)
*
Soda water is a soft , carbonated drink that has always been on our eating table at home. My parents believed that it prevented indigestion and neutralized toxins in the stomach. Could be. In fact, over the years, none of us in the family had suffered any serious digestive problem.
During my childhood in my hometown of Saveni (Roumania), soda water was produced in a small factory where special glass bottles were filled with water and CO2, and then sold to customers. To buy a new bottle (named siphon) one had to return the empty one.
The next stage in the"evolution" of this carbonated beverage, was the home-made soda. We were living in Israel and still 'addicted' to soda or "spritz" (soda with wine) .

The device for soda making was the sypholux - a metalic, opaque , silver colored bottle which came with a small plastic cartrige holder. (The sypholux in the picture above is a more fancy one, made of glass and covered with a thin metalic net) .
In order to operate it ,one had to buy a ten-package replaceble CO2 cartridges which were then introduced in the bottle with water by help of the cartridge holder. These small containers of CO2 are no longer produced today.
At home, it used to be my Dad's task to make the soda, strong soda with more than two -three cartridges. He liked it, we loved it.
(There were a lot of jokes about the sypholux, as it was considered a suitable present to bring to a wedding. Sometimes a couple would get 10-15 sypholuxes on their wedding !! ).
Nowadays, we have the soda-stream (or soda-club) appliance which comes with a replaceable canister full with CO2 . There are also the ready-made soda bottles and cans sold at the supermarkets and kiosks. Of course, the home-made soda is the best, since one can make it as strong or as weak as one wishes.

Home made soda? Wow I've never heard or seen of this before. Is it easy to do? I'm a big fan of soda water (or Club Soda, is what they call it in North America). I also like to put a sprinkle of lime or lemon with my soda water.
I learned something new today! Thanks!
Yes, it is easy. One has to buy the appliance from the soda company or from the store and follow the instructions. The appliance comes with a canister of CO2 (full)and two plastic bottles. We insert the canister , place the bottle in proper place, and then start pushing a top button. The number of pushings is according to the soda strength we want to obtain (ten short pushings is good soda)
I must ,however, mention that it seems this method has lately lost its popularity. People find it more convenient to buy the ready-made family size bottle of soda at the store.
I forgot to specify in my post that this appliance is no real competition to the former sypholux which also stored the soda. No intermediate plastic bottle , and that renderd a stronger and tastier soda.
sypholux > drinking glass
Club appliance > bottle > glass
I've never seen a sypholux being sold here in north america. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for one when Im travelling.
