About
Experience you cannot hire in a quarter.
The people behind Vintelligence have worked the German wine market for more than 50 years — long enough to have watched the specialist trade shrink, the discounters take the volume, and the listing decision move to fewer and fewer desks.
The market we work in
Only about four percent of the volume runs through specialist retail.
That sounds like an argument against the channel. It is the opposite. Volume sits with food retail and discount — roughly two thirds of the litres bought by German households — and that is where our purchasing advisory works.
But specialist retail is where a new estate gets its first German listing, at a price that leaves room for everyone, with a retailer who can import directly and who talks to the restaurants in their city. That is why the entry runs through this channel, and why we measure it in addresses rather than in litres.
Channel shares: Deutsches Weininstitut / NielsenIQ HomeScanPanel, data year 2024 — food retail approx. 63 % of volume purchased by private households, specialist wine retail approx. 4–5 %.
Design
Design by people who work on wine, and nothing else.
Wine advertising has its own conventions — how a range is laid out, how an origin is stated, what a buyer expects to find in the first three lines. The designers we work with know them, which is why the Premium and Platinum programs are measured in design hours rather than in revisions.
Placeholder — two or three examples of advertising material made for wine estates belong here. It is the strongest single piece of evidence on this site.

Where we are
Zurich.
A Swiss company working the German-speaking market. Close enough to be there in a day, independent enough to be nobody's national subsidiary — and Switzerland is a high-price wine market in its own right, importing roughly six in ten litres it drinks.
