OF THE COMPANY<br />

E-commerce wine sales are posting strong growth worldwide but their<br />

development is perhaps most spectacular in Brazil. Traditionally, Brazilians<br />

show little enthusiasm when it comes to drinking wine, but in just a few years<br />

– since the pandemic – the country has become the world’s third largest online<br />

wine market, after the United States and China. This small revolution is partly<br />

due to the sector’s dynamic and innovative stakeholders, which include Víssimo.<br />

The company is one of the largest wine e-tailers in Latin America, through its<br />

Evino platform, and is also one of the biggest importers of international wine<br />

in the Brazilian market after buying major Brazilian importer and wine<br />

merchant Grand Cru in 2021.<br />
