Scandeat Food & Beverage S.L. has created a cooperative export, promotion and sales platform that helps Spanish wineries access and grow in the Nordic monopoly markets and beyond.

Our investment strategy in Spanish wine

We aggregate producers into a joint venture that acts as a single, professional supplier to the Nordic monopoly system and their millions of customers. With better margins and access to large volumes of high quality wines we can also offer bigger buyers such as grossists and hotel groups a much better deal.

With a portfolio of plus 30 producers already from start we are not just another importer, we have created a category platform for Spanish wine in the nordics with a market leading catalogue from day one.

Our Investment Offer

Wine investments are normally based on the rare and most exclusive wines in the world. Our alternative wine investment proposal is established on investing early in the winemaking process*  together with producers in a joint-venture based on a cooperative business model. We only work with wineries that have a long record of quality and demand.

How safe is it? Ageing quality wine increases in value regardless of global markets. Wine also provides inflation protection as prices follow inflation and even more importantly, in volatile times, wine is like gold; a tangible asset.

Wine sales in the nordic markets are falling, but consciousness regarding quality and price is rising, and that fact is what our Spanish wine portfolio is built on. The exceptional high ratio between price and quality in our portfolio differentials us to others that has focused on low cost bulk wines as key products. 

Our investment offer in brief: 

*Fine wine needs time to mature and storing wine is a capital-intensive business. Increasingly more producers choose to sell wine which is still in barrels at lower prices. Selling a small percentage of their annual production helps wineries cover their day-to-day operating costs and develop their farmland and production facilities while enjoying a mutually beneficial business relationship..
