about us

It is in 1998 that Alma Tim Distribution is founded as a beer distributor and for almost 20 years now the company has mantained its first partnership, attesting to its core values.

With the introduction of French wines in the portfolio, Alma Tim began to expand and experience a real local growth thanks to a selective distribution network (wine merchants, bars, restaurants).

Discovering a true passion for wine and spirits and always searching for exceptional products, George Chendi has enriched the company’s portfolio with quality wines and champagnes from all around the world, like Champagne Besserat de Bellefon, Champagne Devaux, Maison Brotte, BBC Vins et Spiritueux or Chateau Sainte Marguerite in France, Casa Girelli in Italy, Bodegas Faustino and Juan Gil Estates in Spain, Sogevinus in Portugal, Chateau Ksara in Lebanon, Bisquertt in Chile, Terlato Wines in California and many other family owned businesses.

This growth and know-how didn’t go unnoticed, and in 2013 the company continued to expand with the introduction of premium spirits, focusing primarily on gins and rums. Some of the first brands to entrust Alma Tim with their distribution in Romania were Gin Mare, Ysabel Regina and Capucana Cachaca, all part of the Vantguard group, Atlantico Rum from The Dominican Republic and Fee Brothers Bitters, followed quickly by Diplomatico Rum from Venezuela and Ron de Jeremy in the rum section and Broker’s, Aviation and Brockmans in the gin portfolio.

2014 marks a new turning point for the company, with the launch of its first brand of wines named Vila Babiciu, followed by Le Life ginger beer in 2017.

New products continue to appear at Alma Tim, both in terms of wines and spirits, like Maison Magnien Wines or Riserva Carlo Alberto Vermouth.
