In wine importing from Cologne since 1983
Global Wines is based in Cologne and, according to its own account, has been one of the important importers of foreign wines and wine-based beverages on the German market since 1983. The company sees itself as a full-service partner for trade and producers. According to the company profile, customers include retailers, discounters, and specialist retailers both domestically and abroad.
The company's high quality standards have, according to its own statement, won the trust of leading wine producers and wine marketers.
Private labels with an eye on the market
In addition to the trade assortment, Global Wines develops its own private labels. The company focuses on customer orientation and online marketing to react quickly to market and consumer wishes. The goal is a good ratio of quality and price. An IFS Broker certification proves a high and consistent level of quality in trading with the products.
On the company website, the team lists assortment analysis, category management, sensory wine evaluation, and label design as fields of work. A wine is therefore also created here at the tasting table and in discussions with the trade, not just in the cellar.
Astrolabium: Dão red wine from granite soils
The range of the assortment extends from Austria to Spain and Italy. The Astrolabium brand comes from the Dão, named after the navigation instrument of the Portuguese voyages of discovery. According to the producer, the grapes grow on gentle slopes with good exposure and granite soils.
The Astrolabium Dão Reserva Tinto is a cuvée of Alfrocheiro, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Nacional. The oenology team of Dão Sul under Osvaldo Amado is responsible. The wine received a gold medal at the Berliner Wein Trophy. The jury described delicate notes of vanilla and toasted wood with some complexity, powerful and at the same time harmonious on the palate. Pasta, poultry with herbs, light meat dishes, and medium-strength cheeses go well with this style.
