Portuguese wines and spirits, brought to the South Korean market
I prospect and develop commercial opportunities for Portuguese producers with South Korean importers and distributors. identifying partners, presenting portfolios and establishing a first commercial connection, on a commission or representation basis.

🇵🇹 Portugal → South Korea 🇰🇷
Years of hands-on experience in the South Korean market
Living, studying and working on the ground in Seoul.
Degree completed in South Korea, in Korean business context.
Portuguese wine, port, gin and other spirits.
A bridge between two business cultures
My name is Anibal Ponte. I lived for around eight years in South Korea, where I also completed my degree in International Trade.
That time gave me more than a language: a working understanding of the Korean market, its business culture and how consumers there actually decide what to buy and drink.
Today I prospect and develop commercial opportunities for Portuguese wine and spirits producers with Korean importers and distributors. Export and supply operations remain direct between the producer and the Korean partner, while I focus on partner identification, portfolio presentation, brand introduction, contact follow-up and market development support. through a commission or representation model agreed between the parties.
How we work together
My goal is to help you close a deal and sell your product to Korean buyers.

Let's talk about your product
Send me a note about your winery or distillery and I'll come back with a straight answer on the Korean opportunity and how a representation or commission model could work.
