Team WIJNZIN

Willem De Kesel
Hey!
This is me. A true wine lover with a passion for food and drinks, especially Italian. My favorite moment of the day? Aperitivo time. A good sip, a plate filled with little bites, and the best friends around me.
My passion for wine has grown rapidly and taken on enormous proportions, resulting in a huge personal collection of my favorite bottles and an unstoppable urge to talk about wine.
That’s when I decided to become a sommelier-conseil; to deepen my knowledge, to truly understand wine, and to share its stories with others. One year into my studies, in 2023, WIJNZIN was born. At first it was a way to host tastings and share wines with friends and family. But by 2024, things became clearer. I didn’t just want to tell the stories, I wanted to stay connected to the winemakers themselves. That’s why I began working directly with small producers, and in 2025 the new WIJNZIN was born.
A wine start-up that brings you the gift of wine in every sip through our online shop, curated wine gifts, and tasting events.
In the summer of 2025, after three years of studying (and a lot of sipping), I officially became a certified sommelier-conseil. Now, I’m putting everything I’ve learned into practice by carefully selecting dedicated winemakers and bringing their finest products straight to you.
I hope WIJNZIN helps you discover your next wine story, one to share with friends, family, or anyone who loves a good glass of wine.
