Aperitivo Kollektiv GmbH

Sankt Sprizz is the flagship brand of Aperitivo Kollektiv GmbH, a beverage manufacturer based in Willing, Bavaria, Germany. The company produces a certified-organic, wine-based aperitivo that comes in two alcohol strengths — Senza 0.0% and Classic 5.0% — with a discontinued Light 1.0% variant still available while stocks last. The drink is positioned as a ready-to-serve, rosé-colored sparkling aperitivo made with a cuvée from Bioland winemaker Manfred Rothe in Franconia, herbal extracts of gentian and wormwood, and a base mixture produced at a cooperative distillery founded in 1881 near Bad Aibling in the Mangfall Valley. It is bottled at Lake Ammersee and sold in 200 ml bottles, typically served over ice with a dried orange slice. The brand markets itself as a solution for mixed gatherings where some guests drink alcohol and others do not, emphasizing that all strengths share the same botanicals, wine base, and recipe. Products are sold direct-to-consumer through the brand's website in 6-bottle and 21-bottle mixed or single-variety packs, as well as through organic wholesalers, organic supermarkets (including SuperBioMarkt and tegut), and foodservice channels in cities such as Munich, Münster, and Düsseldorf. Sankt Sprizz is Bioland and EU organic certified (DE-ÖKO-006), vegan, and carries a Trusted Shops buyer-protection seal. The company has received recognition including second place at the BIOFACH Start-up Award 2026 and the Gründerpreis Rosenheim 2026. It is a supporting member of Slow Food Deutschland and exhibited at the Markt des guten Geschmacks in Stuttgart. The brand was developed with support from the Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf. Founder Johannes Schubert describes the product as originating from a desire to create an aperitivo that could be enjoyed by everyone at the table without anyone holding a substitute drink.

Sankt Sprizz was created by founder Johannes Schubert, who moved to Willing in Bavaria and developed the aperitivo to fill a gap he perceived in the market: a wine-based drink that could be enjoyed both with and without alcohol, so that no guest at a gathering would have to hold a substitute beverage. The product was developed with support from the Hochschule Weihenstephan-Triesdorf, where the aperitivo matured as a project. The wine base comes from Bioland winemaker Manfred Rothe in Franconia, described as an organic pioneer of decades standing, while the base mixture is produced at a cooperative distillery founded in 1881 near Bad Aibling in the Mangfall Valley, with the Wendelstein visible on the horizon. The drink is mixed and bottled at Lake Ammersee. The brand initially launched with three alcohol strengths: Senza 0.0%, Light 1.0%, and Classic 5.0%. All three share the same wine base, botanicals, and recipe, differing only in alcohol content. The Light 1.0% variant was later discontinued, with remaining stock sold while supplies last. Sankt Sprizz is certified Bioland and EU organic (DE-ÖKO-006), vegan, and carries a Trusted Shops seal. It is listed with leading organic wholesalers and sold in organic supermarkets such as SuperBioMarkt and tegut, as well as in foodservice in Munich, Münster, Düsseldorf, and nationwide. The brand is a supporting member of Slow Food Deutschland and exhibited at the Markt des guten Geschmacks in Stuttgart. It received second place at the BIOFACH Start-up Award 2026 and the Gründerpreis Rosenheim 2026, and exhibited at BIOFACH, FOOD & LIFE München, and the Slow Food Messe Stuttgart.
