## About Maker Wine

Maker Wine is a premium canned wine company founded in 2019, based in Marin County, California.

The company partners with small, independent wineries led by women and minorities to offer a curated selection of award-winning, dry wines in eco-friendly, single-serve cans. Their mission focuses on making premium wine more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable while amplifying the stories of underrepresented producers. The product lineup includes a variety of zero-sugar, dry wines such as red, white, rosé, sparkling, and still options. Maker Wine offers single cans, mixed packs, and a subscription service called "Can Club." The wines are vintage-dated and low-intervention, with many scoring 90+ points and earning numerous gold medals. Targeting millennial and Gen Z wine drinkers, Maker Wine emphasizes sustainability and authentic narratives, boasting a community of over 40,000 members. The brand is recognized as the highest-rated canned wine in the market and has generated over $5 million in total sales, distributing over 350,000 cans in the past year.
