Kjær & Sommerfeldt Passion for people, wine and results — since 1875 Kjær & Sommerfeldt is Denmark's oldest wine merchant, who has sold wine of the highest quality since 1875. Our business is built on solid partnerships and long-term relationships. We have more than 200 partners worldwide – leading, well-known wineries and smaller estates with specialized wines. We deliver a unique experience to everyone who appreciates a good glass of wine – to private individuals, professionals, companies and to the Royal Family. We take pride in being experts. One hundred forty-eight years of passion, pride and knowledge define who we are and have created a strong culture in our company. This comes with obligations – to our legacy and to our future. That is why we take responsibility. Winemaking takes time, and every drop is a gift created through the interaction between people and nature over generations. This can only be sustained with a strong focus on people and the environment. We want to contribute to setting a standard in our field by continuously raising the bar — for ourselves and cooperating with our partners. We want to give our customers the products, services and knowledge they need to make sound and more sustainable choices.
