Spring Wine & Spirits import and sell wine and spirits to the Swedish restaurants and the monopoly retail chain.
We are today the leading distributor of wine to the on-trade and one of the 10-12 largest suppliers to Systembolaget, the Swedish monopoly retail chain. Our company is a subsidiary of Spendrups Bryggeri AB, one of the largest brewery and beverage group in Sweden. Our competitive advantage is our carefully selected wine & Spirits portfolio, our passion and personal engagement in combination with the logistics benefits of being part of the Spendrups Brewery.
About us
The family-owned brewery Spendrups started up their wine import business already in 1995, when Sweden’s import monopoly was abolished. Since then the wine import has grown to also include several brands of spirits. Today, wine and spirits is a profitable business and an important part of Spendrups’ total beverage assortment. We possess the flexibility of a small company but because we are a part of a renowned brewery, Spring Wine & Spirits benefits from the parent company’s organisation and sphere of influence.
Spring Wine & Spirits employs 36 staff and has a turnover of EUR 60 million. We are wine and spirits product specialists and have skilled brand managers a nationwide team of field staff. In October 2014 we changed our name from Spendrups Vin to Spring Wine & Spirits.
On the Swedish market, we represent around 80 small and large producers from all over the world and we carry more than 400 products in the assortment. (See the products and producers we represent).
Spendrups Groupwise Resourses
Spendrups, founded in 1897, is today the biggest and most prominent Swedish brewery. This successful family-owned business is now managed by the fourth generation of entrepreneurs. This provides stability, paves the way for a long-term approach and engenders a unique commitment – both in the management and staff. Spendrups Group’s resources include three breweries situated in Sweden. Wine, spirits, beer, bottled water, cider and soft drinks comprise the beverage range. Spendrups Group has over the years built up successful beer brands as Norrlands Guld, Mariestads and Spendrups as well as Loka, sparkling water. The whole group currently employ 800 people.
The best of two worlds
As a result of our deeply entrenched position in the restaurant trade, Spring Wine & Spirits is blessed with a fantastic set of circumstances when it comes to the Swedish market. Nowhere else does one find the combination of dependable development, entrepreneurial skills and quality awareness coupled with the resources of a large beverage company. Spring Wine & Spirits benefits from Spendrups’ nationwide sales and distribution channels. At the same time we are our own company – we must create our own bottom line. We will expand and develop while retaining healthy and this means our partners grow with us. In order to achieve these goals we must work qualitatively and develop long-term relationships with our customers and suppliers. Perhaps it’s fair to say that Spring Wine & Spirits combines the best of both worlds. We enjoy a small company’s versatility and passion for wine with the influence of a large enterprise.
