Feel free to read Godare's (Aftonbladet) nice article about me here
I am one of the founders and owners of MINVINO – the world’s first water designed to match different categories of wine. Currently, there are four different types of Minvino water created to complement everything from an elegant Riesling to a robust Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The water is bottled in classic wine bottles.
MINVINO was developed in collaboration with some of Sweden’s most renowned sommeliers and sensory analysts between 2016 and 2018, as we realized that water could enhance the experience of a good glass of wine and that one type of water does not suit all categories of wine. Since wine and water are two of my passions, I also hold a Swedish sommelier diploma from the Restaurant Academy and WSET Level 3.
During my sommelier studies, I found it strange that they never talked about water as its own beverage or that water has flavor. I think it's odd because a sommelier today should have knowledge of all types of beverages and how to pair them with food and drinks. Therefore, I decided to attend the Fine Waters Academy, and at the beginning of 2019, I became Sweden's first certified water sommelier. In 2019 and 2021, I was a member of the jury for the Fine Waters Taste & Design awards.
My goal is to build a global business around MINVINO and educate sommeliers and wine lovers that water is much more than just a thirst quencher. I simply want water to be a part of the gastronomic equation.
Water for crisp, elegant white wines, Champagne & vintage wines The light minerality in Minvino No. 1 matches perfectly with the acidity in Crisp & Elegant white wine. It also harmonize with Champagne and vintage wines.
Pairs with grapes like riesling, sauvignon blanc and albariño, as well as unoaked wines from Chablis.
Water for bold and rich white wine
A soft, lightly carbonated water with a touch of minerality that pairs well with full-bodied and rich white wines featuring flavors of soft and ripe fruit. Wines that are often aged in oak barrels, providing a rounded and buttery caramel taste.
For example, wines made from grapes such as Chardonnay, Semillon, and Viognier, both oaked and unoaked
Water for delicate or tannin rich red wines
A lightly carbonated water with pronounced minerality and saltiness that pairs well with elegant, complex red wines. Wines with firm tannins that are perfect with food. Wines such as Barolo, Bordeaux, and Priorat.
It also pairs well with soft, elegant, and crisp red wines with soft tannins, such as wines made from Pinot Noir and Gamay grape
Water for bold and powerful red wines
A mineral-rich, lightly carbonated water that pairs well with flavorful and fruity full-bodied red wines. Often oaked wines with a clear structure and notes of dark red fruits and spices without being tight.
Examples of wines include Amarone, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and Valpolicella Ripasso, as well as wines made from grapes such as Zinfandel and Primitivo

Similar setup to a water tasting, but we delve even deeper. For example, I have given lectures at Yrgo's sommelier program in Gothenburg, at wine and food fairs, as well as at the Swedish and Nordic Championships in Sommellerie.
From idea to reality. Come in as a planner/strategist and help develop new concepts and/or product categories within food and beverages based on trends and customer insights.
In 2018, MINVINO won the World Beverage Innovation Award
