ON COURSE FOR PROFITABLE GROWTH
Wine is on an upward trend around the globe – particularly the premium segment has been growing continuously for years. The Hawesko Group sells leading premium wines and champagnes not only in Germany, but increasingly in neighboring countries as well. The integration of retail, wholesale and distance selling gives us a unique market position. Our business segments inspire each other and each is a leader in its market.
POTENTIAL
Approximately € 8 billion is the estimated size of the very fragmented German wine market, led by Hawesko, roughly one third of which comprises the specialty trade as well as the restaurant and catering trade – important target groups for us.
EXQUISITE
The Hawesko Group deals exclusively in high-quality wines in the premium segment of the German market.
BOUNDLESS
In Europe approximately two-thirds of the wine trade is handled. The Hawesko Group focusses on these countries.

HISTORY
Placing the customer at the center of our activities and philosophy – that’s the fundamental policy of the Hawesko Group. From the beginning – whether in a garage in Hamburg in 1964 or in a rustic shop in Düsseldorf in 1974 – we have consistently pursued this course. It is still the basis of our success today.
