iBest launched with a boastful red and white blend in October, realizing a similar blended mission: 1) Educating consumers about the stellar wine coming from South Africa, 2) Spotlighting global artists & creatives that are contributed to the culture 3) Encouraging people, especially Black and Brown people to collect art as they build generation wealth and 4) Promoting diverse ownership in the wine & spirits industry.
What’s more, iBest is the picture of Black Girl Magic! The whole team, including the in-house sommelier, are all Black women, each of whom has equity in the company. The first investors in the brand were Black women, and one of the brand’s South African winemaker partners is a Black woman. You know we Stan Black female leadership in predominately male-run spaces!
