Some people see the glass as half empty. Others see it as half full. Marc Dulst has always belonged to the latter. Not just because he turned his passion for wine into a profession early on, but because he truly believes in approaching life with a positive outlook.
That’s why DULST Wijn met Advies aims to “bring a smile to people’s faces with every sip of our wines.”
It’s this perspective—on wine, on winemakers, and on wine lovers—that has helped DULST grow over the past 25 years into a trusted name among Belgian wine importers.
Passion brings both disappointment and knowledge out of his passion for wine, Marc Dulst developed the Qivino wine preservation system. It attracted plenty of attention but never became a lasting success. Still, the glass remains half full. Thanks to that experience, Marc is now perfectly positioned to advise on today’s preservation technologies—from vacuum systems to the Coravin wine system and professional wine dispensers.
And then there’s this. After completing his wine studies, Marc experienced what he calls a “rosé trauma.” At the time, a certain light, slightly sparkling rosé was served almost everywhere—a Portuguese wine in an oval bottle with a biblical name. As a trained oenologist, he was deeply disappointed by its quality.

From One Garage to a 1,500 m² Wine Cellar
Steve Jobs, The Beatles, Bill Gates, and Walt Disney didn’t stay in their garages for long. And neither did Marc Dulst—his quickly became too small. Of course, his business didn’t grow quite like theirs... but chances are, Marc Dulst has enjoyed more wine than all of them combined. And he wants the customers of DULST Wijn met Advies to enjoy it just as much.
Today, DULST Wijn met Advies has over 1,500 m² of underground storage space, where every bottle is kept in perfect conditions. The wine cellars were specially designed to allow wines to mature beautifully and safely over time.
Now, the bottles are simply waiting for that festive moment when you open them—bringing a smile to the faces of those you share them with.
