New optimized webshop makes it easier to shop for delicious wines online
Who is Philipson Wine?
Philipson Wine is the country's leading online wine retailer, today employing a complete omni-channel strategy and boasting a significant direct online sales presence.
It was established in 1987 by Christian Philipson, who, during a stay in Burgundy, became interested in trading wine—without the added costs of intermediaries like agents, wholesalers, and middlemen.
Philipson Wine is now Denmark's largest online wine retailer and a leading importer and distributor of quality wines from around the world. Philipson Wine directly approaches wine producers, making significant and timely purchases. The company has eliminated all cost-increasing intermediaries such as agents, wholesalers, and middlemen. This strategy ensures competitive quality and prices for Philipson Wine's customers, resulting in generally lower prices than those offered by wine merchants and supermarkets.
Philipson Wine sells directly to restaurants, businesses, and individuals nationwide from its headquarters in Kokkedal, north of Copenhagen. Philipson Wine employs 59 staff members.
