The company has strong roots with its founding family Åkesson in Österlen in South-East Skåne where the family has lived and worked for many generations.
Our business idea is to produce and trade grape based wines and beverages. Among the wines are both traditional and modern products all developed with the aim of having a broad public appeal while simultaneously surpassing the consumers’ expectations. The wines are imported in their finished package or in bulk to be filled at a facility in Sweden. Many of our imported products are sold with Åkesson Vin’s own brand but we also import and distribute wines with the producers own brand. We strive for long term collaborations and personal relations with our foreign colleagues.

We accept the UN declaration on Human rights, Global Compact, as well as OECD’s guidelines for multinational companies and we strive to live by these goals and to implement them fully in our daily work. Read more about Code of Conduct.

Today’s consumer wants to make climate smart choices. And we wish to offer climate smart products. That’s why Åkesson Vin continuously strives to make all parts of its operations more sustainable. These efforts include offering wine in tetra pak cartons – the most climate smart packaging alternative for 0.75-1 litre volumes of wine.  

For more than 25 years, Åkesson Vin has been importing wine as well as producing its own wine for the Swedish market. One of our goals has always been to be an industry leader when it comes to sustainable development of the operations. Our aims include contributing to a fossil free industry, ensuring fair conditions for our suppliers, more recyclable packaging and efficient water use.

We work actively to reduce our use of natural resources and our environmental footprint. We also demand that our suppliers and partners should act in a sustainable way. Focus areas range from how the grapes are cultivated to the working and living conditions for people at the vineyard and how the transport to Sweden is conducted. 


It also includes in the type of packaging the wine is delivered in. For 0.75-1 litre volumes of wine, tetra pak cartons is the most climate smart alternative. Producing cartons requires less energy than glass bottles. They are also more efficient to transport than glass– which means fewer lorries and reduced carbon emission.

More than 50 per cent of the raw material in the tetra pak cartons consists of paperboard, exclusively produced in forests certified by FSC™ (Forest Stewardship Council™), which promotes responsible management of the world’s forests.
