Best Wine Filter Innovation: Wine Balanced Wins 2026 Award

Los Angeles, CA, February 12, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Wine Balanced, a leader in natural wine purification, has been awarded “Best Wine Accessory Innovation - United States” at the Global Brands Magazine Awards 2026, recognizing the brand’s breakthrough wine filter that enhances the wine-drinking experience without altering taste.

The award is presented by Global Brands Magazine, a UK-based publication widely regarded as an authority on global brand excellence. Global Brands Magazine covers leading luxury and consumer brands worldwide, providing in-depth analysis of branding strategy, innovation, growth, and market leadership.

Wine Balanced was recognized for its innovative approach to wine filtration - combining natural science, Nordic manufacturing standards, and consumer convenience into a simple, effective wine filter that helps reduce compounds commonly associated with wine-related discomfort, including sulfites, histamines, and tannins.

"Wine Balanced was created from a simple belief: people shouldn’t have to choose between enjoying wine and feeling good afterward," said Mark Christiansen, CEO of Wine Balanced. “Being recognized by Global Brands Magazine - an organization that sets the benchmark for global brand excellence - is a powerful validation of our mission and our approach. We’ve taken an age-old Nordic purification concept and transformed it into a modern wine filter that fits seamlessly into everyday life."

A Wine Filter Backed by Science, Craft, and Global Recognition

Unlike wine drops, wine wands, or chemical additives, Wine Balanced uses a natural absorption-based wine filter in the form of a small sachet placed directly into a glass or bottle. The wine filter works in minutes, requires no special equipment, and preserves the wine’s original flavor and aroma.

Manufactured in Norway and distributed by Wine Balanced Inc, an FDA approved facility, Wine Balanced’s wine filter is made with 100% natural and organic ingredients. The ingredients are sourced from Norway’s Arctic waters, including coral algae (Corallina officinalis), chitosan, and calcium ascorbate. The underlying purification principles have been tested by respected laboratories such as NIVA (Norwegian Institute for Water Research) and AnalyCen, reinforcing the brand’s science-led positioning.
