Black-Owned Wine Brands: What to Know, Where to Shop and Why They Matter

Looking for Black-owned wine brands? Whether you're discovering a new favorite bottle, exploring wine-based cocktails or intentionally supporting Black-owned businesses, there has never been just one way to enjoy wine.

Black-owned wine businesses bring distinct perspectives to the industry, from traditional winemaking and vineyard ownership to innovative flavors, formats and cocktail experiences.

Here's what to know as you explore.

What Makes a Wine Brand Black-Owned?

A Black-owned wine brand is a business with Black ownership. That can include wineries, wine labels, importers and wine-based beverage companies.

Not every Black-owned wine business operates its own vineyard. Some partner with growers or production facilities, while others develop proprietary formulations and new approaches to the wine experience.

The important distinction is ownership, not simply whose face appears on a label or in an advertising campaign.

Black-Owned Wine Brands Worth Knowing

McBride Sisters Wine Company

Founded by sisters Robin and Andréa McBride, McBride Sisters has helped introduce new audiences to wine through collections that celebrate community, culture and inclusivity.

The company's story is a reminder that wine expertise and entrepreneurship can take many forms.

Love Cork Screw

Founded by Chrishon Lampley, Love Cork Screw brings personality and approachability to the wine aisle.

WONDRY

WONDRY is a Black-owned, family-made beverage company founded by husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Whitney and Chaz.

Inspired by a family tradition of homemade winemaking, WONDRY takes a different approach to wine with premium, ready-to-drink cocktails made from a proprietary wine-based formulation.

The brand has also appeared on Shark Tank and expanded into national retail.

Where Can You Buy Black-Owned Wine?

Depending on the brand and your location, you can find Black-owned wine products through:

• Major retailers and wine stores

• Local independent wine shops

• Restaurants and tasting rooms

• Brand websites and online retailers, where permitted

Availability varies by state, retailer and individual product.

For WONDRY, the easiest way to find participating retailers is through our store locator.

Black-Owned Wine Isn't One Style of Wine

One of the biggest misconceptions about Black-owned wine is that it represents a particular flavor profile or price point.

In reality, Black-owned wine businesses offer everything from traditional reds, whites and sparkling wines to fruit-forward blends and wine-based cocktails.

That variety matters because consumers deserve choices that reflect their own tastes—not a narrow definition of what wine is supposed to be.

How to Support Black-Owned Wine Businesses

Buying a bottle is one way to support a business, but it isn't the only one.

You can ask your favorite retailer to carry a brand, recommend a discovery to friends, share a brand's story or leave a thoughtful review.

You can also explore the people and ideas behind the products. The stories are often just as compelling as what's inside the bottle.
