History:

Qwine was officially formed between 2002 and 2003, by an Italian business partner and Kenneth Løndahl.

In the founding years Sicily’s and Puglia’s potential for wines of exceptional quality was not fully recognised and therefore considerable investments in different projects was done by Qwine in those two regions.

Since then the company have in a successful way proved to consumers around the world which high quality the wines from Sicily and Puglia can be produce into and sold at very competitive prices. This experience is transferred into other regions – both better and less known.

Today Qwine is also producing wines from Veneto and Piedmont, as an example. With serious investments in many different regions Qwine is capable of producing valuable products suitable for modern consumption.

Qwine forged an alliance with a group of wineries on Sicily and in Puglia in 2003. Later in 2006 also in Veneto and in 2007 as well in Piedmont, Marche and Abruzzo with the purpose of producing and supplying major retail points, inside as well as outside Europe.

Within our team, we have different winemakers, consultants and a well-educated staff.

Qwine was officially registered on the 1^st March 2003 where the portfolio of the 2002 vintage was published 1^st April 2003 at wine trade show: Vinitaly.

Creating a Successful Distributing company:

Qwine places its emphasis on Quality; the quality of grapes, of vinification, of bottling, of packaging, of distribution and of marketing, to name just some of the areas.

Value can be achieved in all levels of production with the skilful and experienced staff Qwine has. Whilst our main selection of grapes is in Sicily and in Puglia, we have good connections and know-how about producers of grapes in other regions such as Veneto, Piedmont, Abruzzo, Marche and Umbria. Qwine follows developments in each area in order to find the best suppliers and see ways in which to improve our own techniques and wines in the regions of our focus.

The company currently employs a small team but Qwine is in contact with highly reputed winemakers on a frequently basis to ensure the sustained high quality of our work.

Suppliers to our company are carefully chosen for their quality and level of service, price flexibility and vision. The style of our wines is ascertained and progress follows a marketing plan we prepared when creating Qwine srl.

Customer service is paramount. Sourcing, concept work, quality control of speed and accuracy in customer relations are of the greatest importance. Our team is fully trained in the importance of implementing this policy.

We are successful in producing high class wines at very competitive prices. We are also very aware of how important the logistic and general correspondence with our customers is. This is why we take on each part of our work with equal importance.
