Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits (MBWS) is the third largest company in the French wine and spirits sector, and operates primarily in Europe and the United States.

The Company’s growth strategy is built on four  pillar brands:
- William Peel, first Scotch Whisky brand in France by sales, and eighth worldwide;
- Sobieski, 100% pure rye vodka, second largest vodka brand in France;

- Cognac Gautier, created in 1755, awarded "Best Cognac in the World" in 2014 and 2015.

In addition to these pillar brands, the Company has a large portfolio of complementary brands such as San José tequila, Old Lady’s Gin, Porto Pitters and Berger anisette. Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits’ portfolio also includes the production and marketing of wine in several countries: Bodega Marqués del Puerto in Spain and Tcherga in Bulgaria.
