About us

Twenty years ago, we didn't start with a business plan, but with a love. A love for exceptional champagne, sourced directly from small producers in the Champagne region. No mass production, no glitz—just craftsmanship, passion, and tradition in the bottle. What began as a hobby for ourselves and a few close friends slowly grew into something bigger. We brought boxes of our favorite champagne from our favorite champagne farmers, shared them at the table, and realized: this is too good to keep to ourselves. That's how De Champagnevrienden - The Champagne friends - came into being.

 

In 2006, we decided to broaden our horizons. Because bubblies are everywhere. From prosecco from Italy, red Shiraz bubbles from Australia, refined cava from Spain, and surprising finds from Moldova. Our passion grew into a journey of discovery through the world's finest sparkling wines. De Champagnevrienden continued to grow. We started selling special bubbles and organizing champagne and sparkling wine tastings. That's why we chose a new name: Taste & Tintle. A name that perfectly fits who we are. Taste for tasting, Tintle for the sparkle and the experience.

✨ More information about our champagne and sparkling wine tastings can be found at Taste & Tintle.

 

Klein Flesje Prosecco.nl – A sparkling gift

Sometimes you don't need a large bottle to celebrate a special moment. Klein Flesje Prosecco.nl was founded in 2015 out of a need for small bottles of sparkling wine, perfect as a gift or token of appreciation.

For larger celebrations or events, you can easily order large quantities so that everyone can join in the toast. Whether it's a graduation, a colleague's anniversary, a housewarming, a company party, or just a small gift, a small bottle of bubbly makes every moment sparkling. Our bottles are not only practical, but can also be personalized. Add your own label or have a card with a personal message sent along with it.

Klein Flesje Prosecco.nl is part of Taste & Tintle.
