Cheers to the weekend or any other festive and celebratory moments you may encounter in life. Celebrate those moments with these Black-owned wine and champagne brands. There are a lot of wines and champagnes created by Black icons making waves in the drink industry.
Celebrity drinks tend to rely on the celebrity’s name and online presence to push a product. However, Black winemakers tend to have to hustle from scratch to develop their brand with little brand recognition. Although both roads are vastly different, the hustle and sometimes the taste is just as sweet.
Black-owned Wine and Champagne Brands

Whether you prefer a bold red wine, a subtle white wine, or a bubbly champagne, there is a good chance that a Black-owned company has the option available for you.
It might be a little bit of a hassle to find Black-owned spirits locally, but there are a few sites you can order from to get them. Sites, such as Total Wine and Drizly, have a wide range of wines and champagnes that you can select from.
It’s encouraging to see Black winemakers and celebrities break into an industry that doesn’t have a lot of Black representation. With popular online communities, such as Black Girls Wine and Black Girls Who Love Wine, it’s much easier to follow what’s new in the wine industry. Foodies and Black oenophiles everywhere can find like-minded people who share their curiosity and love for delicious wine and spirits.
Enjoy your next celebration with these Black-owned wine and champagne brands made with your culture in mind.

1McBride Sisters’ Sparkling Brut White Wine
This popular Black-owned, female-run brand is the brainchild of two sisters who didn’t meet until they were adults.

This sparkling white wine is a popular choice for many who say it drinks well above its price point. It’s a blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. Both aromatic and refreshing, you’ll find notes of fresh fruit including pineapple, pear and melon. This is a great choice to start your tasting as it’s easy to drink and quite enjoyable.
2Brown Estate’s Betelgeuse Sauvignon Blanc
Brown Estate is one of the most well known black-owned producers of wine. It is the first and only black-owned estate winery in California’s Napa Valley. Their Betelgeuse (pronounced Beetlejuice) sauvignon blanc is beautiful to look at and a joy to taste. On the nose you’ll find red grapefruit, mandarin orange and guava. This white has a silky mouthfeel and a juicy elegant ripeness. It’s described as a great starter wine for those new to the world of wine. Brown Estate was started in 1995 by three siblings whose parents purchased an abandoned Napa Valley ranch in 1980. Since its inception, the company has seen many milestones, including a partnership with Delta Air Lines in 2019. The partnership featured the wines on the airline’s menus.
3Sun Goddess Sauvignon Blanc
Mary J. Blige almost broke the internet this summer when she released promotional photos for her wine brand. Sun Goddess Wines embodies what fans of the Grammy-winning singer and acclaimed actress embody: class, sophistication and edge. Blige's wine brand is a partnership with an Italian winemaker named Marco Fantinel. Together, they have created a wine collection that new and old fans can't stop talking about. The Sun Goddess Sauvignon Blanc has a romantic vibe that has faint, but memorable flavors of melon and banana giving it a clean and crisp taste.
4Brown Estate’s Zinfandel Napa
The Brown Estate's Zinfandel Napa is a premium selection on Total Wine. The Brown Estate Zinfandel Napa is a concentrated, medium-bodied red wine that has notes of black cherry and blueberry. It's best to allow this Zinfandel to breathe a bit after opening it because you are going to enjoy every sip. A few of the on-the-nose notes include strawberry and vanilla making this a glorious wine choice for red meat, cheese and poultry pairings. If you are searching for a wine you can pair with almost anything, then this is for you.
5MYX Fusions’ Peach Moscato
MYX Fusions' Peach Moscato tastes just as delicious as it sounds. In 2013, Nicki Minaj took over the brand, and it was the top-selling Moscato brand that year.

This lively drink will turn up your evenings and make your dinner meals taste more colorful with each bite.

The blend is best served cold, as it makes for the perfect summer drink. If you looking for a white wine that everyone will enjoy, then this is a perfect choice.
