WINO ON A BUDGET

Black Owned Wineries for Every Budget

In the United States, we are currently in the midst of what I hope is a life long change towards equality for our Black citizens. While the protests are one way to support the Black community, you can also support the Black owned businesses and wineries with your wallets.

But there is also a pandemic going on and I’m very aware at how many people have lost their jobs recently. And I’m a budget wino! So true to form, I went through 45 black-owned wineries and sorted them for you by average bottle costs, as well as included what kinds of wines each offer so you can gravitate towards both your budget and your flavor palette. I’m a Washington-based account so I’ve noted if they are available for purchase/shipping to my state as well.

The wineries website is linked under their name, and their instagram handle is linked as well! Supporting them with a Follow is also a small way to make sure you’re keeping these wineries in your feed and on your radar. If I have missed any wineries that you know of that are Black owned, or if I made any errors (completely possible as well) please comment so I can update this list!
