Alexander Mackh
Growing up in gastronomy and hospitality in the Alps, I developed an early understanding of taste, service, and the culture around wine. At 12, I moved to England for boarding school, which shaped an international perspective from a young age. After graduating from hospitality school in Switzerland in 2015, I entered the wine world by building a wine import business, a journey that would later evolve into Amelie. In 2018, I founded Grassl Glass, followed by Amelie Switzerland in 2022. Today, my focus is on an ongoing journey through the world of wine — exploring places, producers, and ideas across continents.
