A Perfect Fit
TAILOR-MADE AND PROJECT-ORIENTED SOLUTIONS
Whether startup, family business, medium-sized company or corporate group – we know that every task is different and every customer is special. That’s why we don’t believe in standard solutions. We offer flexible, innovative and customized consulting concepts, tailored to your individual needs. No matter whether your company is one of the really big ones, a small one with big ideas or a startup. We know the European markets and the changing consumer needs. Based on this, we examine outdated mindsets and develop product and marketing strategies that will give you new impetus, attract new target groups and increase your sales success.
Export to the EU
Your Gateway to New Markets
Discover the European food and beverage landscapes, gain insights into your competitors, strategically position your product, and initiate your sales journey.
While it’s possible to expand into a new market by establishing your in-house sales team, the most efficient approach often is to have a regional expert on site who understands the culture, knows the legal requirements, speaks the language and has already a valuable network of agents, distributors, brokers, or resellers.
To win them over, you must present a compelling narrative outlining why your product outperforms existing options and a clear vision of how they can increase their profitability by collaborating with you. We stand at your side to develop your food business in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and Spain.

What sets us apart
Our customers expect careful analysis, impartial, expert advice and a fresh “outside” perspective in order to achieve rapid economic improvement.

We act quickly, personally and purposefully to ensure that no valuable time is lost and that you receive the best possible solution.

A team of experts, because nobody can do alone what we can achieve together. We speak your language, B2B and B2C, and we understand and respect your entrepreneurial spirit because we are entrepreneurs ourselves.
Cross-generational cooperation
At FOOD AND WINE CULTURE, senior experts work closely with young professionals in a wide business range: Strategy, corporate development, start-ups, digitalisation, technology and marketing. This unique mix allows you to benefit from comprehensive expertise that is both in-depth and contemporary.
Keeping your future competitiveness in mind
We focus our attention on relevant market developments, trends and innovations. However, we not only focus on the food industry but also observe other sectors to find inspiration and learn. This serves as the basis for our innovation strategy and influences the ongoing development of our services. We make our findings and inside knowledge available to you, thereby strengthening your market position and future competitiveness.
