"We didn't have much in common except that we both loved the same Italian Prosecco. We had both discovered this Prosecco individually and on different occasions when we were on the magical island of Sylt, Germany." - Regina
Glad you’re here.
We’re excited you found us! For over 35 years, we’ve been enjoying this specific Italian Prosecco. As customers—not wine producers—we share your appreciation and expectations.
That’s why we’re so grateful to introduce our love for this premium Prosecco with you—without any of the unpleasant side effects that often come with drinking wine.
What drives us is our dedication to educating others about the often tricky wine industry and helping people understand why it’s so important to pay attention to the details.
Read the story about two people who fell in love with the same Prosecco and then each other.
1986
Mr. Claus Blohm
Mr. Blohm, born in Hamburg, was a dedicated amateur golfer who, at just 26 years old, won the European Cup of Champions for Hamburg Falkenstein on November 23, 1986, at the Aloha Golf Club in Marbella, Spain.
He later began his professional career at Sony Classical, blending his work with a lifelong love for music. His journey then took him to a Swedish uniform company, where he managed global operations from Hamburg while pursuing his passion and curiosity for discovering new countries.
1995
Mrs. Regina Martin
Mrs. Martin was born in Hamburg but grew up in Munich. Driven by her love for fashion, she spent over eight years working in sales leadership roles at Hugo Boss, Puma, and La Perla.
She frequently attended events on the iconic German island of Sylt, where, in 1995, she discovered a delicious Italian Prosecco—one that left her feeling hangover-free for the very first time!
2005
Mrs. Martin and Mr. Blohm Meet
Mrs. Martin and Mr. Blohm happened to be living in the same building in Hamburg, Germany when they met. Ms. Martin had been working for brands like: Hugo Boss, Puma and Polo Ralph Lauren, while Mr. Blohm was working as the CEO of a uniform manufacturer. The only thing they had in common was that special Prosecco they had both discovered before they met. Nine months and several bottles of Prosecco later, they fell in love.
May 2008
Italian Wedding
In 2008, Mr. Blohm married Mrs. Martin near beautiful Siena, Italy. When they were married, Regina had three wishes. One, she wanted to live in Miami. Two, she wanted them to start their own company and make their favorite Prosecco famous to the world. And her third wish is still a secret.
2009
First San Simone Winery Visit
As the pair started traveling to the US more often, they discovered it was very difficult to find any Prosecco as good as their beloved Italian bubbly. So they decided to start their own brand. They reached out to the producers of their favorite Prosecco, San Simone located in Friuli, Italy, and were granted exclusive rights for the Premium Prosecco.
2010
They Founded SYLTBAR & Relocated to Miami
In 2010, Claus and Regina officially founded SYLTBAR and moved from Germany to Miami, Florida. From the sunny beaches of Miami, they started importing and distributing their Mr Premium Prosecco & Mrs Sparkling Rosé. They were excited to share their Prosecco with the USA. The couple knew it would give people the ability to drink Prosecco and wake up feeling great!
2011
First SYLTBAR Tasting at the Golden Hog
As Claus and Regina began to grow the business, they quickly realized their lack of experience in the wine world and the food industry worked to their advantage. People recognized that they weren't in it for a profit and that they truly believed in their brand. At this time, SYLTBAR was also carrying gourmet food. They held their first wine tasting at the Golden Hog Gourmet Market in Key Biscayne, FL which is still a SYLTBAR customer today!
2012
Milams Market in Coconut Grove
Claus and Regina had no experience, zero strategy and felt at times that they didn't know what they were getting into. It was risky for them to start a company in a country that was brand new to them. Still, they believed that their Prosecco was different from any other brand on the market and they wanted everyone to taste it! They continued to learn about the wine business and SYLTBAR continued to grow.
2013
Fancy Food Show New York
The Blohm's were at the forefront of the brand, not a marketing team, not a brand model and not an ambassador. It was them. Customers got to know them and realized that they were authentic and really believed in their brand. SYLTBAR was gaining more popularity as more and more customers experienced the SYLTBAR difference. No hangovers, headaches or weight gain.
2014
Mar-a-Lago First Customer in Palm Beach
In retrospect, The Blohm's see their lack of knowledge as a blessing in disguise. The awkward manner in which they introduced their brand to customers made them real and relatable. SYLTBAR stood out because they weren't knowledgeable about the wine industry, especially distribution. Unfortunately, at this point they had to stop selling their gourmet food products because of the high cost of food inventory.
2014
Lowest Sugar Prosecco on the Market!
Claus and Regina always felt the SYLTBAR difference, but wanted to get it verified. They had their Prosecco lab tested by the University of Miami Diabetes Research Institute. The results confirmed that SYLTBAR Prosecco was in deed the lowest sugar Prosecco on the market!
2015
100 Year Celebration
In 2015, Regina and Claus went to Friuli, Italy to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the winery. Mr and Mrs SYLTBAR were delighted to be part of the celebration and raise their glasses to their producers. The San Simone winery is rooted with a love for natural wine and known for their commitment to the environment.
2016
Whole Foods & Total Wine
After years of hard work and dedication, Mr & Mrs SYLTBAR became available at Whole Foods Market and Total Wine. This was a huge achievement. It meant that their Premium Prosecco and Sparkling Rosé were now accessible to a wider range of like-minded customers. And even in a market like Whole Foods, which is known for more natural products, SYLTBAR might still be the only one that is low in sugar, vegan, organic, and low in sulfites.
2017
Mr SYLTBAR in Nobu Restaurants
Nobu has over 56 locations that span six continents.The restaurants have earned a reputation for upscale seafood from Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. What pairs better with seafood than a chilled glass of prosecco? Claus and Regina knew SYLTBAR Prosecco would be a match. In 2017, SYLTBAR began a partnership with Nobu for their Mr Premium Prosecco in all the restaurants U.S. locations.

Loopidilup for Spritz: Tradition Meets Wellness
Where does the SYLTBAR name come from?
Claus and Regina first discovered their special Prosecco on the island of Sylt in Germany. Located in the North Sea of Germany near the Danish boarder, Sylt is known for its natural beauty, luxury and sophistication. Since the island is so meaningful to them, they decided to make it their brand name and add the word "bar" to the end, denoting a place where drinks are served. The name SYLTBAR, which is pronounced zooltbar, reflects a sense of elegance, exclusivity and quality. The logo on SYLTBAR bottles is the shape of Sylt island. Regina and Claus feel this allows them to bring their love to every bottle.
