If you’ve followed me for a while, you know how passionate I am about diversity in the world of wine. The wine industry has been dominated by white men for decades. In recent years, we’ve seen far more female winemakers enter the industry (check out a list of some of them here), as well as black representation, but we still have a long way to go!
As of 2022, less than 1% of wineries are Black-owned or led. In order to be the change we want to see in the world, I think it’s imperative that we support these businesses to create a more inclusive future.
In honor of that, I’ve done some research so that we can all support black-owned wineries and continue paving the way for them within the wine world.
