🍾 Q&A
Q: What is a Black-owned winery and why does it matter?
A: A Black-owned winery is a wine business owned and operated by Black entrepreneurs or families. Supporting these wineries matters because fewer than 1% of U.S. wineries are Black-owned, even though the Black community represents $1.6 trillion in spending power. By choosing Black-owned brands, you help close the gap in representation and bring diversity (and flavor) to the table.
Q: How can I find Black-owned wines and spirits at my local store?
A: Start by looking for recognizable brands like The McBride Sisters, Brown Estate, Love Corkscrew, LVE (John Legend’s line), and Wondry Wine. Many of these can be found in major grocery stores, liquor retailers, and even at Target or Walmart depending on your region. Don’t be shy—ask your store to stock more Black-owned wines. When you make requests, retailers listen.
Q: What are some standout Black-owned wine brands I should try?
A: Try Wondry Wine for a fruit-forward punch with a surprising 14% ABV, General Orders No. 3 for a smooth, award-winning sweet potato vodka, Brown Estate for iconic Napa Zinfandels and vibrant blends, and Love Corkscrew for playful, easy-drinking varietals with serious flavor. If you love sparkling, check out LVE’s French bubbly or the McBride Sisters’ sparkling rosé—these are crowd-pleasing gifts and fridge staples.
Q: What’s the best way to support Black-owned wine and spirits brands?
A: Buy consciously. Seek out their bottles online or in-store, join their wine clubs, sign up for newsletters, and engage with them on social media. Request their products where you shop and recommend them to friends. Money talks, and your purchase is a vote for greater representation and inclusivity—plus, you’ll discover some seriously good sips.
Q: What resources can help me discover more Black-owned wineries and spirits?
A: There are curated lists and directories online, and stores like Happy Cork in Brooklyn offer strong selections with nationwide shipping options. Follow brands on social media, subscribe to their newsletters, and check the video description for direct links. The world of Black-owned wines and spirits is bigger than you think—explore, enjoy, and let your glass reflect your values.
