history

Hawesko was founded in Hamburg in 1964 by the Hamburg entrepreneur Peter Margaritoff. The two wine enthusiasts Jacques Héon and Olaf Müller-Soppart opened the first Jacques' Wein-Depot in Düsseldorf in 1974 , a new concept in the wine trade in Germany at the time. In 1983, Jacques' Wein-Depot and all 50 depots were taken over by Horten (later part of Kaufhof Holding, then Metro Group ); In 1989 Kaufhof, part of the Metro Group, took a 70% stake in Hawesko and in the wine wholesaler CWD founded in 1986.

In 1998, the entire Hawesko Group with the wine mail order company Hawesko, the specialist wine retailer Jacques' Wein-Depot and the wine wholesaler CWD is spun off from the Metro. The company goes public in May 1998 and is separated from the Metro Group. In 2014/15, the current majority shareholders will join the company through a public takeover offer.
