We are excited for you to join us for Black Business Month!
With over 80,000 wineries worldwide, slightly over 70 are owned by Black vintners. The U.S. wine industry alone grosses over $51.2 billion in domestic wine revenue. Through research studies, 78% of Black consumers say their racial identity influences their lifestyle choices for products purchased, media consumed, and social networking. There’s an opportunity for growth and consumer awareness to delve deeper into wine culture and learn about brands that match their lifestyle.
Check out our list of 100+ wine businesses in the Sip Consciously Directory which includes wineries, retailers, distributors, subscription boxes, and more!
