Product ranges, tenders, registration and responsibilities — a practical guide for producers considering Vinmonopolet.
Vinmonopolet’s product ranges have different procurement and delivery requirements. A wine may be assessed through a tender or registered by the wholesaler. We clarify the requirements and help the producer prepare the necessary documentation.
Vinmonopolet serves consumers, while licensed hotels and restaurants may purchase directly from a wholesaler. The market overview explains these two routes; practical information for hospitality buyers is on our partnerships page.
Vinmonopolet publishes specific product requirements. When a wine matches a specification, Haut de Gamme may submit an offer and sample within the stated deadline. Samples are assessed blind, and the decision is based on price, sensory quality and ability to deliver. The one-lot range covers a limited quantity. Listing or launch cannot be guaranteed.
The wholesaler registers the product through Vinmonopolet’s supplier portal. The to-order range requires stock in Norway and single-bottle delivery. The additional range does not require stock in Norway, may carry a minimum order and may need to be ordered through a store or customer service. Vinmonopolet also operates separate test and special ranges.
Send us a short introduction to the producer, wines, available formats and volumes, price basis and existing export markets. We will respond with what is needed for an initial assessment. The conversation is exploratory and does not imply an agreement, listing or launch.
