About Heinz Wagner Sekt

German sparkling wine made in the traditional method is known as Winzer-Sekt. Max Wagner reinvigorates the old craft with a simple, effervescent vision: to savor the joy of sharing a moment together. With Heinz Wagner Sekt, Max seeks to guide the conversation away from technical aspects of wine and to something deeper. His philosophy on Sekt is rather simple: “Sparkling wine is not about looking into the glass, it’s about looking into people’s eyes. It’s about connecting. With bubbles, there’s an occasion that brings people together. So to me, it’s Heinz Wagner, to joy!”

Don’t be fooled though, Heinz Wagner Sekt is made with expertly cultivated grapes farmed by the winemaker Max Greiner. Max Greiner’s vineyards are certified to the highest degree of German sustainability. His tender vigilance with the vines expresses itself through these delightful and distinct low-intervention wines made in the Black Forest. 

Max Wagner brings years of experience as a vermouth producer. He steers the brand Heinz Wagner Sekt while working closely with Max Greiner throughout the winemaking process. The two share a mutual love of the Black Forest and a passion for wines that bring people together. The delicious non-alcoholic selection offered by Heinz Wagner Sekt ensures that there’s a glass for everyone at the table.

Tupetz Connection: Max and Lisa were introduced to each other through Jochen Dreissigacker. After jumping on a zoom call which ended up being much longer than anticipated, both agreed quickly that a work relationship would be great. Max is a big fan of Lisa’s passion for her business and wine and after tasting his Sekt and visiting the winery in the Black Forest, Lisa was down to start partnering with Heinz Wagner Sekt. All about connections!
