PROFILE |
 |
VRANKEN MONOPOLE has corked the notion that fine champagne does not belong on the supermarket shelf. A youngster among the aged champagne houses in France (it was founded in 1976), the company has built its name selling its products to grocery retailers -- a market its older competitors have historically shunned. The group produces and distributes the VRANKEN, Charles LAFITTE, and HEIDSIECK & Co brands of champagne, along with the São Pedro and ROZÈS brands of port. Champagne accounts for 88% of sales, and more than half of the company's sales occur in France. VRANKEN operates subsidiaries in Belgium, Germany, Portugal, the UK, and the US. Founder Paul-François Vranken owns more than 75% of the company.
