Our Story

The History of Vin i Tid

A story of passion, persistence, and an uncompromising belief that every restaurant deserves access to exceptional wine.

The Beginning

From Beirut to Gothenburg

Joseph Mounayer's journey into wine began in Lebanon, where he developed a deep appreciation for the region's storied vineyards and the culture surrounding them. He went on to found the Association des Sommeliers du Liban (ASLIB) and serve as captain of the Lebanese National Sommelier Team — carrying Lebanese wine culture onto the international stage. After relocating to Sweden, Joseph established himself as Wine Director for Gotaplatsgruppen, one of Gothenburg's most respected restaurant groups. Those years sharpened his understanding of what restaurants truly need: wines that sell, that guests remember, and that carry a story worth telling. Vin i Tid — Vinitid AB — was born from that understanding. Based in Gothenburg, the company was built to bridge the gap between the world's finest small producers and Swedish restaurants that deserve access to them.

A Partnership

Gastro Experience

Alongside Vin i Tid, Joseph co-founded Gastro Experience together with Eros Teboni — crowned Best Sommelier in the World 2018 by the Worldwide Sommelier Association, and Best Sommelier of Italy 2021. Together they organise exclusive wine trips for sommeliers from all over the world, immersing participants in specific wine regions — from the vineyards of Burgundy to the ancient cellars of Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. It is more than education. It is an experience designed to forge the same personal relationships with producers that have always been at the heart of Joseph's philosophy.

Behind every great wine lies the power of nature, the patience of time, and the passion of those who craft it
