About Mövenpick Wein
Mövenpick Wein is an importer and supplier of quality wines in Switzerland and Germany. Its roots lie in the first wine cellar in Switzerland, the Caves Mövenpick, opened in 1962 in Zurich-Enge. Today the company comprises a branch network of over 30 wine cellars in Germany and Switzerland, complemented by an online trade and a wine bar in Zurich. The range comprises over 3,000 wines from all over the world (according to the website), including, according to Wikipedia, 1,200 different wines (as of February 2020), from Swiss vintners to international producers. Alongside brick-and-mortar retail, online sales are gaining additional importance. The division belonged to Mövenpick Holding AG based in Baar, whose business units were separated in 2020 and converted into legally independent companies.
