History
[edit]Claudia Masueger immigrated to China in 2008 and founded a business-to-business wholesale wine company called MQ Wines. The Masueger family, originally from Switzerland, has been in the wine business since 1898. Masueger founded Cheers Wines in 2011 after the MQ Wines warehouse burned down.[14] Cheers Wines grew from 4 stores in 2011 to 39 stores in 2016[15] after investment from the Swiss company Moevenpick.
In 2016, Cheers Wine opened at the Topwin Centre, in the heart of Sanlitun, in Beijing.[16][17] The company received the "Most Potential Franchise Star in 2016" award from Entrepreneur's 500.[18]
