A modern wine company

We turn producer potential into Swedish results.

Small team, big footprint. Bibendum is one of Sweden's largest wine suppliers by volume to Systembolaget and among the fastest growing.

We work with a handful of producers so we can go into the detail that sells: the right segment, the right price, the right Systembolaget tender. Personal, forward-leaning and focused on sales, we read the market in data, act fast and keep our partners close to every number.
