Welcome to the website of Wein Werte<\/em>. We aim to be true to the Latin toast above (prosit! <\/em>= may it do good!) by embodying and promoting a wine culture that contributes to the well-being of the earth and its inhabitants. If you are in a hurry, or if you are already familiar with our philosophy, you might like to proceed directly to our product range. If not, we invite you to take a little time to browse through our website and learn about our company.<\/p>\n

When wine is produced, marketed, and consumed responsibly, it connects us to nature, to society, and to our own better selves. Our vision is a wine culture that connects. Our mission is therefore to develop responsible business models for the retail wine industry, to implement them in our company, and to promote their adoption along the entire value chain. In this way we hope to be a leader in the industry, a model to follow, and the seller of choice for wine drinkers who share our values.<\/p>\n

Our core business is the sale of high-quality wines that are produced and marketed in a sustainable and fair manner. Thus, our company motto: quality, sustainability, equitability. Through our actions we want to contribute to the shift from an economic system that places profit above people and the planet to one that subordinates monetary gain to social and ecological needs, and that contributes to their fulfilment. The following nine points describe the main principles that inform our work.<\/p>\n

1. We are committed to quality<\/strong><\/span>
\nEverything we do is aimed at maximising the Total Quality Experience of our customers, understood as the combination of product, service, environmental, and social value.<\/p>\n

2. We support a diverse and regionally distinct wine culture<\/strong><\/span>
\nVariety is the spice of life! We work against the oligopoly of international varieties and industrialized production processes by stocking a wide range of wines with an emphasis on local grape varieties and artisanal methods.<\/p>\n

3. We promote biodiversity and environmental quality in general<\/strong><\/span>
\nAll of our wines are produced according to organic methods, and most of the wines we sell are organically certified. Many are also biodynamically certified. In addition to this, we are committed to minimizing the negative environmental impact of products and processes throughout the value chain, from the vineyard to the disposal of the empty bottle.<\/p>\n

4. We combat climate change<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe aim to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem. In order to reduce our emissions footprint, we look for low-carbon options at every point from the producer to the consumer. Furthermore, we compensate two kilograms of carbon for every kilogram of carbon produced not only through our company\u2019s activities, but along the whole value chain. Following the revelations in the media of the quality issues surrounding voluntary carbon offsets, we are reviewing our offsets purchasing policy. We will report on the results of this process. Our aim is to ensure that every purchase from us is carbon negative and makes an active contribution to the fight against climate change.<\/p>\n

5. We do not profiteer from prestige wines<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe do not support the application of unreasonable margins to prestige wines. We take a maximum margin of \u20ac15 per bottle excluding payment charges and transport costs. If we are obliged to apply a higher margin, either because of our suppliers\u2019 demands or to avoid the risk that a wine will be resold at a higher price, we donate the excess margin to environmental and social organisations.<\/p>\n

6. We take responsibility for the social costs of alcohol<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe donate 1% of our sales turnover to anti-addiction organisations, and we actively encourage our customers to consume wine in moderation. We also apply a minimum price per unit of alcohol in line with the Irish directive of \u20ac1 per unit, which is currently the only such regulation in the European Union. This minimum unit price means that in practice none of our wines cost less than \u20ac7.50 for a 750ml bottle.<\/p>\n

7. We promote safe, fair, and fulfilling working conditions for all workers<\/strong><\/span>
\nAll workers, regardless of their diversity characteristics, have the right to safe working conditions, fair contracts that ensure a living wage, and opportunities for self-development in their workplaces. Organic production and fair product prices already help towards the fulfilment of this goal, but they are only a first step. We seek partners who share these values and who communicate their ongoing implementation in their companies.<\/p>\n

8. We are transparent<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe place financial data from our company on our website, and we document our environmental and social contributions. In this way, our customers can judge the fulfilment of our commitments for themselves.<\/p>\n

9. We are committed to continuous improvement<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe are only at the beginning of our journey, and we are excited about the path ahead. We aim to constantly increase the value that we provide to our customers, to society, and to the environment, and we are committed to reporting in a transparent way about our progress.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”top” parallax=”content-moving”][vc_column]
