About:
The story of the name Guldkula goes back to Håkan’s grandfather, who crossed the Atlantic to seek his fortune. He used to joke that he was going to “dig for gold in the USA,” and his acquaintances gave him the nickname Guldkula. When he returned to Sweden and Dalarna, he officially adopted the name, but it didn’t fit in with Sweden’s social conventions at the time, so he changed back to his old name. To honor his grandfather, Håkan changed his surname to Guldkula in the late 1990s.
The name was therefore a natural choice when Håkan decided to establish his own Champagne brand with the business idea to spend less on marketing and more on quality, thereby offering a high-quality Champagne at a very competitive price. Richard Juhlin, one of the world’s foremost Champagne experts, initially worked together with Håkan and the respective Chef de Cave to create a truly unique range of Champagnes in different styles.
