Alexander
Founder · Importer relations
Hundreds of wineries and more than 5 million bottles sold across Denmark, Sweden and Germany. He knows how importers think — and makes every introduction himself.
You have the wine.
We already know who's buying.
We know who's buying in Germany, Sweden and Denmark — a decade here makes that the easy part. What keeps wineries with us after is a seamless view into every step.
Social proof
Almost a decade building the relationships you're about to borrow.
We've spent close to ten years learning which importers in Germany, Sweden and Denmark serve the monopolies, which serve private clients, which serve restaurants — and which ones are actually looking for what you make. That's not a database. It's a decade of meetings.

bottles sold to buyers across Denmark, Sweden and Germany
Over the last ten years I've worked with hundreds of wineries and sold more than 5 million bottles to buyers across Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Along the way I've learned exactly how importers think, what they ask for and what makes them say yes — and what a winery needs to get there. That's where I help. When you partner with ARIES, I introduce your wine to the right importers myself, with the right pitch, and once they say yes, the relationship is yours. I only take on a handful of wineries, so every introduction gets my full attention. — Alexander, founder
The problem we solve
You've done the fairs.
You've sent the samples.
You're still waiting.
- Another fair, another stand, another “we'll be in touch.”
- Samples shipped to importers who never reply.
- Emails to buyers who don't know your name.
- Months go by — and you still don't know if it's the wine, the price or the timing.
The problem isn't your wine. It's that you're knocking on doors nobody has opened for you.
On your own
- Cold emails
- Years of waiting
- Big spend up front
- All the risk on you
With ARIES
- Warm introductions
- A plan from day one
- One fixed price per month
- An honest no if it won't work
About us
A small team. One job: putting your wine in front of the right buyers.
We taste it, we pitch it, and we open the doors — to importers, restaurants and hotels. You stay in control, and the relationships are yours to keep.
Nils
Sommelier & taster
Every wine passes his glass before we say yes. He also hosts tastings for importers and buyers, at our office and on the road.
Sebastian
Restaurant & hotel sales
Years of selling to restaurant chains and large hotel groups. He opens the doors to the tables where your wine gets poured.
What we stand for
Serving only the best.
We'd rather do more for a few than a little for many. We never pitch competing wineries to the same importer, so you're never up against another ARIES partner — and you can bring us as many of your wines as you like. If you succeed, we succeed.
Our vision The trusted gateway, not the biggest one.
To become the premium route between the world's best wineries and the best importers, buyers and restaurants across Germany, Sweden and Denmark — built on curation, not volume.
Our mission The right importer, at the right time.
We serve only the best wineries, and get them in front of the best importers in these three markets — through relationships built over almost a decade.
Our values Fewer wineries, served properly.
We say no more often than we say yes. Full transparency into every step. And once an importer says yes, the relationship is yours to keep.
Transparency
You'll never have to ask what we're doing.
Every introduction, every tasting, every reply — you see it as it happens, and you learn from it.
