What Weingärtner Stromberg-Zabergäu eG does

Weingärtner Stromberg-Zabergäu eG is a registered wine cooperative (eingetragene Genossenschaft) based in Brackenheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, pooling the production of approximately 750-770 member winegrowers across 400-720 hectares of vineyard in the Stromberg-Zabergäu region. The cooperative produces a full portfolio of red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines from regional grape varieties (Lemberger, Trollinger, Spätburgunder, Riesling, Grauburgunder), organized in a tiered structure (180° Aufbruch entry-level, 210° Erkundung local terroir, 240° Entdeckung discovery, 270° Erfüllung premium) with sub-brands including Mann im Fass, OCTAVIO cuvées, Blütentraum, Luisas Wein, and Freispiel alcohol-free alternatives, plus ready-to-drink Spritz products.

The cooperative sells exclusively direct-to-consumer through a Shopify-powered online shop (full product catalog with standard payment integrations) and two physical Weinausschänke (wine taverns) in Brackenheim and Bönnigheim for tastings and purchases. Orders ship domestically via DHL and DPD, with free shipping thresholds for larger orders. Distribution is confined to Germany and select European markets. The company holds organic certification (DE-ÖKO-003) and earned multiple 2024 industry awards including Riesling Champion Silber and World of Rose Silber.

Governance follows the standard German cooperative structure: a Management Board (Vorstand) chaired by Jürgen Conz with Frank Braun as deputy, and a Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat) chaired by Manuel Hauber. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, as cooperatives are not required to file public financial statements. The business model is one-time direct sales of bottled wine and sparkling products to individual consumers, supplemented by wine tourism experiences, with no subscription, licensing, or B2B distribution channels evident in the data.
