What would a banking metropolis be without a wineBANK

There is just something about enjoying special moments with special wines, in a special place like wineBANK Frankfurt. Its operators, both early members of the wineBANK Rheingau, were so enthusiastic about the concept that they opened their own location in Frankfurt. Three minutes away from the famous “Fressgass,” exquisite boutiques and a dizzying array of world-class restaurants, over 30,000 bottles are stored in 23 vaults, 274 lockers and 4 private cellars. On the ground floor is the wineLOUNGE by Bottle Shock, which is used as a meeting room and event space.

Immerse yourself into our gourmet world, and become a wineBANKer!

THE HOSTS

“As Club Manager of wineBANK Frankfurt, I am proud of the great vinophile community that developed here. We are all united by our enthusiasm for special wines.”

Spanish passion and German entrepreneurial spirit: Carlos Schönig, born in Frankfurt but with Spanish heritage as well, knows how to combine hard work with an appreciation of the finer things in life — for him: wine, football, family and friends. After an apprenticeship and several years working in the supermarket industry, he switched over to the wine industry in 2005.
To his joy and amazement, he found such pleasure in wine in his work as a buyer for Global Wines and a juror for the Berlin Wine Trophy that he and his best friend Jean-Pierre Berlejung founded their own commercial trading firm: Bottle Shock GmbH. Their Frankfurt wineBANK represents the realization of one of the duo’s long-held dreams. As club manager, Carlos Schönig is the first point of contact for wineBANKers in Frankfurt.

Managing Partner at wineBANK Frankfurt

“My passion for fine wines and the fascination of diversity drive me in what I do. At Bottle Shock
as well as at wineBANK!”

Born in 1974 in Frankfurt, Jean-Pierre Berlejung visited the same boarding school as his business partner and best friend Carlos Schönig. A passionate football fan and equestrian, he initially trained to work in accounting and is today the managing partner at Objekta Treuhand GmbH, which manages more than 100 properties in the Rhein-Main area. Berlejung – like Carlos Schönig – has served as a juror at the Berlin Wine Trophy. Following his passion for fine wine, he and Carlos Schönig founded Bottle Shock GmbH in 2011. The duo composed a portfolio of wines reflecting their own love of diverse tastes — world-class wines and renowned estates alongside Bottle Shock’s own house brands. The concept also fits the wineBANK model perfectly. Jean-Pierre Berlejung is responsible for sales and administration.

Wine in the center

Äppelwoi meets skyscrapers; Frankfurt is a city of contrasts. The strong identification between Frankfurters and their local specialties — and football club — intersects with an international business audience here only for the working week, eager to head home on the weekends. This unparalleled mix of “ultra-local” and “multinational” is what makes Frankfurt so special.
Close to the heart of this melting pot — at the stock exchange — is the wineBANK. “Fressgass,” Hauptwache, Alte Oper, Zeil are all minutes away by foot. Whether shopping, planning dinner or getting ready to hit the club, a visit to the wineBANK always sets the right mood. Impress your guests with your wine collection, and revel together in the unique ambiance of wineBANK Frankfurt by Bottle Shock.
