Black-Owned Wine Brands You Should Know (Starting with Ours)

The wine industry has long been dominated by a narrow slice of voices—but that’s changing. A new generation of Black-owned wine brands is bringing bold flavor, culture, and authenticity to the table, and we’re proud to be part of that movement.

At Love Cork Screw, we’re not just a wine brand—we’re a vibe. A lifestyle. A statement. And we’re in great company.

Whether you’re sipping for the culture, exploring new flavors, or looking to support more diverse businesses, here’s why now is the time to discover and uplift Black-owned wine brands—starting with us.

Meet Love Cork Screw

Founded by Chrishon Lampley, Love Cork Screw is one of the first Black woman-owned wine brands to go national in the Midwest—and to proudly include nutritional facts on our labels (a first in the industry!).

We started in 2013 with just six varietals. Now, you’ll find Love Cork Screw wines in over 1,800 retailers across the country—including Target, Whole Foods, and Total Wine. Our wines are flavorful, approachable, and intentionally named to connect with real-life moments:

Head Over Heels (Riesling)
Hard Knock Life (Concord)
We’re Movin’ On Up (Cabernet Sauvignon)
Good Times Good Friends (Pinot Grigio)

Plus, our line includes wine-scented candles and Head Over Paws pup toys that take the wine experience beyond the glass.

We’re not just here to pour—we’re here to inspire.

Why Supporting Black-Owned Wine Brands Matters

The wine industry has historically lacked representation from people of color, especially Black women. Supporting Black-owned brands means:

Investing in economic empowerment
Elevating diverse flavor profiles and stories
Breaking down industry barriers
Changing the narrative around who wine is for

When you sip with intention, you’re part of a cultural shift. And yes—it can taste this good.
