Outstanding online wine retailer

Silkes Weinkeller, in which BurdaDirect holds a stake, is one of Germany’s leading online retailers of premium wines. It was named “Germany’s best wine retailer” several times between 2011 and 2018 by the specialist magazine “selection”, emphasising the quality of its range. For 20 years, Silkes Weinkeller has been impressing customers with its well-founded expertise and fair value for money. Every year, more than one million bottles of wine leave its storage facility in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Silkes Weinkeller has become an important part of the German online wine market with personal customer service. With a selection of over 1,200 different wines, its focus is always on quality. All wines are tasted and only those that pass muster are added to the company’s range, which encompasses major, well-known vineyards, up-and-coming winemakers and insider tips.
