Wennerco was founded in 1976 by Lars Lindblom, a true pioneer in the Finnish wine and spirits trade. Wennerco has always been a forerunner; when Finland joined the European Union, Wennerco was the first company to be granted an alcohol import license and was the first to advertise wine on Finnish television. Wennerco was also the first to import wines from South Africa and from big international brands from wine regions such as California to Finland. Today we are a large but dynamic wine importer in the Finnish market, with a strong focus on the Finnish monopoly Alko, restaurant- and retail channels.
