Understand the Swedish market

The Swedish market might seem complicated at first, due to its alcohol monopoly. But no worries, we’ll show you the way through the jungle. Here are some good-to-know facts about our market:

  • In Sweden, you can reach important players with much smaller efforts compared to larger countries.
  • Wine journalists have a very high standing with Swedish consumers.
  • Sweden has the biggest wine club in the world with nearly 30,000 members.

Pretty impressive, right? There are many interesting opportunities for you to reach the Swedes. Contact us and we’ll spill all the beans about our market.

Best Cases

We Hit the Streets…

…with 16 fantastic Austrian winemakers for a whirlwind roadshow through 8 of Stockholm’s top restaurants. At each stop, winemakers had just 4 minutes to present one wine in a speed tasting format. The result:

 

An event that was short, sharp, and seriously engaging. A fresh, fast-paced way to connect with the trade and showcase what Austrian wine is all about.

 

Here’s what our client said:

“The feedback we’ve received from the participating winemakers has been overwhelmingly positive – everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and felt it was a valuable and well-curated experience.”

We brought Oregon to Oslo

—and here’s what happened.

The Oregon Wine Board wanted to make a big impact on the Norwegian trade—and they asked us to make it happen. To get their wines in front of as many people as possible (and boost ROI), we planned two seated Deep Dive sessions with Master of Wine Bree Stock, with a walk-around tasting and buffet in between.

 

The results:

  • 45 participants at each Deep Dive
  •  6 producers and 7 importers exhibiting Oregon Wines
  • Over 100 sommeliers, media and importers present

 

The feedback?
“I especially liked the opportunity to got to two masterclasses and have the fair, mingle and buffet in between. An educational and awesome day!”

“One of the best fairs I have been to in Oslo.”
