“The database is vital for us, providing a clear view of importers, distributors, and agents in each country. It helps us connect with buyers suited to our wines, saving significant time on marketing efforts.”
BestWineImporters was launched in 2005, at a time when wineries were eager to expand exports, especially to fast-growing Asian markets, but had few reliable tools to reach global importers and distributors. We set out to change that.
As a small team with strong experience in the information industry, we focused on creating a platform defined by two key principles: accuracy and ease of use. Every contact was carefully verified and regularly updated, and the system was designed to be intuitive, even for small producers with limited tech experience.
Our approach quickly proved successful. Within a few years, BestWineImporters became a trusted resource for wineries worldwide, helping them confidently explore new markets and grow their businesses.
To stay ahead as the industry’s trusted standard, we’re always enhancing our databases to deliver even greater value.
From expanding the volume of high-quality leads to introducing cutting-edge features inspired by client feedback, we’re committed to evolving alongside the needs of wineries and wine professionals worldwide.
2005
BestWineImporters 1.0 was launched in February 2005 with almost 5000 wine importers and distributors. The custom built .xls file included the contact details of the companies in an intuitive layout and the updates were delivered via monthly email packages.
2011
By 2007 the number of importers almost doubled, reaching 8,000, and we were also offering databases with wine agents, brokers, as well as the most important wine magazines worldwide.
2014
In 2014, following the expansion of our team, we launched a number of new database that focused on wine retail stores from around the world. The total number of companies covered was now 16,500.
2016
In 2015, we started including financial data and more advanced company profiles for a number of the companies, as well as details about the origin of the imported wines.
2018
2016 was a crucial year for BestWineImporters. The online cloud system, with daily updates, was released in February and two new major databases, with spirits and beer importers, arrived in September.
2022
Since 2021, we’ve introduced a range of new features designed to provide even more value to our users. These include an advanced Search Engine, social media profiles, direct contact information for key decision-makers, and advanced filtering for customized targeting — just to name a few.
2026
We’ve launched a completely new, AI-powered version of the platform, enabling users to find any company in the industry through smart search. The update also adds Shipping & Trade Data from Customs offices, helping identify buyers and track competitors, along with expanded Financial Data coverage.
