Wineman of the year

13 december 2022

We are very proud that the leading wine magazine Perswijn has chosen our CEO Joris Snelten as wineman of the year.

"The jury was unanimous: Joris Snelten is our wineman of the year. Joris is probably best known to the general public as CEO of Delta Wines, which under his leadership has grown into a major player in the European wine trade. But for many others, Joris is above all a great wine connoisseur and generous wine lover, who is committed to Dutch wine education and conveys like no other that we all need each other in the Dutch wine industry."
