Viva Wine Group reduces its ownership in Viva China by selling 81 percent of the shares to Vin och Vind AB, a company owned by Björn Wittmark, a senior executive and a major shareholder of Viva Wine Group. Sales of Viva China amounted to SEK 7 million with EBIT SEK -1 million in Q1 2022 and are reported as part of the business segment Other. The transaction is settled in cash at a value determined through valuation by a third party. Viva Wine Group retains 19 percent of the shares after the divestment.

The deal is part of Viva Wine Group's strategy to focus on its core business with a focus on growth in the Nordic monopoly markets and in the European e-commerce for wine.
