Hans Bijvoets
founder of Anfors Imperial, The Netherlands
After a long period in the Dutch gastronomy Hans decided 21 years ago to become a wine importer. In the beginning the company specialized in Italian wines only, but through passion for European wines he created an extensive portfolio from also Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Spain, and even some Dutch wine. Anfors Imperial focusses on characterful small-scale family businesses, in well-known and lesser well-known appellations and from well-known and lesser well-known grapes. The result is a very wide and deep portfolio with more than 800 wines from more than 140 producers with which we serve the Dutch (top) gastronomy, wine shops and consumers. "We strive to be the one-stop-shop for every Dutch wine-lover." Website
