Importer & Wholesaler — Norway
We import wine from people we like.
And we'd like to get to know you.
Drikkepartner is a Norwegian wine importer and licensed wholesaler. We work directly with the people who make the wine — we walk their vineyards, sit at their tables, taste from the barrels in their cellars. Most of our growers are in Europe, but our door is open to exceptional producers anywhere: Europe, the Americas, Australia, and beyond.
What we look for is simple: good wine, made by good people, with a story worth telling. If that sounds like you, we should talk.
Why Norway — the opportunity
Vinmonopolet.
Alcohol is sold to consumers through a state retail monopoly. For a producer this is not a barrier — it is an advantage: a serious, quality-focused buyer, transparent listings, and stable, meaningful volumes. We handle the entire process for you.
A wealthy, curious market.
Norwegian consumers have high purchasing power and a growing appetite for authentic wines with a story.
HoReCa.
Beyond the monopoly, we place wines with restaurants, bars and hotels across Norway — venues who value direct producer relationships.
You do not need to understand the Norwegian system. That is our job. You make the wine; we open the market.
What we offer you
A real relationship.
We are not a catalogue. We know our producers by name, and we tell their stories — the people, the place, the work — not just the label.
Two doors into Norway.
Vinmonopolet (retail) and HoReCa (on-trade). We navigate both channels on your behalf.
We come to you.
We visit, we taste, we build something that lasts.
A voice.
Every producer we carry gets their own story, in our own words, told with care.
Wine tourism — a new possibility
We bring Norway to you.
Through our sister company, Smaken av Frankrike (“The Taste of France”), we bring Norwegian wine lovers on journeys to the producers we work with. Today these travels focus on France — but we are always looking for new destinations. A partnership with Drikkepartner can mean more than import: it can mean welcoming Norwegian guests to your estate, and becoming a place people travel to see.
Who we already work with
Serious, independent houses have chosen to let us carry them into Norway.
