The Jacques' Wein-Depot GmbH is a subsidiary of Hawesko Holding in Hamburg. As a franchise brand, it issues agency contracts to independent specialist wine retailers with over 280 depots.
history
In 1974 the French Jacques Héon and the German Olaf Müller-Soppart opened their first shop in Düsseldorf. They wanted to offer wines from France that were less lovely than usual in Germany at the time. Customers could sample for free, and the wines came straight from the winemaker without a wholesaler. In 1980 the namesake Jacques and his partner retired from the business.
In 1983 the company was taken over by Horten AG and later became part of Kaufhof Holding and thus part of the Metro Group . In 1998, when Hawesko Holding AG went public , Jacques' Wein-Depot was integrated into this group.
today
In 2014 Jacques' Wein-Depot has over 280 locations in Germany and three in Austria. The simply equipped depots offer around 125 wines from France, another 125 wines come from Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria and overseas. Every year around 100 new wines are presented and, if they are successful, added to the range. The wines on offer, which come directly from the producers with the exclusion of importers through central purchasing, can be tasted "... in a winegrowing atmosphere". Typical depots can be found on the outskirts of larger cities in relatively convenient locations, have direct parking facilities and a size of 80 to 200 m². The wines bought are now also being sent. There used to be only direct sales. The prices are the same in all depots, the inventory is centrally planned weekly .
In the 2013 financial year, sales totaled 130 million euros and a profit of 13 million euros.
