Awards archive 2009-2026
A chronological record of PERLAGE awards for taste, design, innovation and brand standing, from its market debut to a second consecutive gold medal for the aluminium bottle.
Scope of the review
This review covers publicly documented distinctions awarded to PERLAGE and to the product under its earlier name, Cisowianka Perlage. Titles awarded to the Cisowianka brand as a whole are presented separately so that they are not attributed directly to PERLAGE.

Editorial note
Two entries should not be published without clarification. The notes below protect the brand from double counting and from assigning an unverified level to an award.
“Taste & Design Awards 2016” and “Gold Taste Award, China 2016” refer to the same FineWaters gold medal awarded in Guangzhou on 29 June 2016. The location, date, organisers and result are identical.
The official PERLAGE website lists 2022, but the complete FineWaters 2022 results table does not include PERLAGE. No medal or category should be stated until a certificate is obtained.
The wording “1st Gourmet Waters International Contest” on the brand website refers to the first edition of the competition, not first place. The Superbrands documentation confirms a diploma, not a gold medal.
FineWaters medals in the Aluminum category relate to the 500 ml ALU bottle. They should not automatically be applied to glass bottles, cans or PET packaging without a separate licensing basis.
Related titles
The current PERLAGE website displays the titles below alongside product awards. Organiser sources indicate, however, that they were awarded to the Cisowianka brand as a whole. They may be used on the website only when described in that way.
| Period | Programme and title | Category | Institution | Correct scope |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009-2018 | Premium Brand, High Reputation Brand | Brand reputation | Premium Brand Reputation Foundation | The PERLAGE website lists 2009-2017, while the official results also confirm 2018. |
| 2010-2021 | Superbrands | Strong consumer brand | Superbrands Poland | The 2023 Superbrands album identifies the latest emblem as the twelfth awarded to Cisowianka. |
| 2013-2018 | Superbrands Polska Marka, formerly Created in Poland Superbrands | Polish brand | Superbrands Poland | |
| 2013 | European Trusted Brands, Crystal Emblem | Water: quality, value for money and image | “Reader's Digest”, European Trusted Brands survey | Not PERLAGE as a separate product. |
Further information needed
The names and years are documented, but certificate details are not available online. The safest way to complete these fields is to use scans of diplomas from the Nałęczów Zdrój archive.
The brand archive confirms three distinctions and identifies the can in 2013, but it does not state the Pearl level. Gold, silver or bronze should not be added without a certificate or a complete report for the relevant edition.
The titles and years are publicly confirmed. The available brand materials do not provide a reliable star count. Two stars could be confirmed only for 2016.
The official PERLAGE website confirms three gold medals. The public website of the former organiser, Singapore Newspaper, no longer provides a readable archive of the PERLAGE categories. The entries remain accurate as “Gold Medal”, without adding a detailed class.
For Dobry Wzór, finalist status is confirmed, but the specific packaging variant is not. For AVPA 2017, a diploma from the first edition of the competition is confirmed, without a publicly stated class or medal colour.
