Last year, the company earned BRL 450 million, a growth of almost 40% compared to 2019, with 40% of its revenue from the subscription club, while 60% of e-commerce sales are already originated in the app.

Founded in 2008 and currently with more than 240,000 partners in Clube Wine, the company claims that it has been developing new fronts, such as its B2B and direct sales unit, “which are in a fast growth rate”.

Besides to its online presence, Wine has recently opened brick-and-mortar stores in different regions and today has eight units – three in São Paulo and others in Campinas, Recife, Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, and Porto Alegre. The forecast is to open five more physical stores in the first half.
