Who we are
W
e consist of five wine importers
namely: Vinunic, Wine World, The
Wineagency, Quaffable Wines and
Valid Wines.
Our history is deeply rooted in our passion for
wine. This has led to a number of successful collaborations with some of the world’s best-known wine
producers and brands. The close ties to our producers have shaped a way of thinking that permeates
through our entire business today; Success is built
through strong relationships, care, and commitment.
This applies to every aspect of our business approach.
Equal growth
We strongly believe that our company culture is a
big part of our success. We have an equal division of
women and men in management positions. We share
an entrepreneurial spirit and empower each other to
grow and fulfill our full potential at work. We have
different backgrounds and perspectives which add
value to every decision we make and always keep in
mind the balance of everyday business and our longterm sustainability goals.
Ownership
All of our companies are partnership driven with the
CEO as a shareholder and Arcus AS the majority
owner. All companies within Vingruppen i Norden
share the central functions such as logistic and financial department as well as our on-trade sales team.
