The No-Brainer Gift Guide: It’s Wine

The 7 Best Celebrity-Owned Wine Brands

Buying a gift isn’t always easy. But if there’s one thing that usually lands, it’s wine. You know it. We know it. And celebrities know it, too. From the ever-growing list of celeb-owned beauty brands to A-lister-owned restaurants, Hollywood celebrities are proving their skills extend far beyond the big screen. And lately, wine is a business venture that seems to have really caught their attention, and we love to see it. Wine developed by Mýa? Yes, please. Whether you enjoy a dry Merlot or a sweet Moscato, you may be on the hunt for the best vegan wines to gift for the holidays. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Wait, so wine isn’t always vegan?

Not all wines are created equal—or vegan, for that matter. 

Many wines go through a clarification process known as fining to remove haziness. The fining process of winemaking—which filters out the sediments in wine—can sometimes entail animal products. 

Traditional fining agents can include egg whites, gelatin, milk proteins like casein, and isinglass, which is a type of collagen derived from fish bladders. 

But worry not, because many winemakers choose to omit the use of animal products in the fining process. Instead, they use the likes of pea protein, clay, or activated charcoal to filter the wine—just to name a few. Other brands choose not to fine their wines, allowing them to self-clarify and self-stabilize instead. These companies will typically label their wines as “not fined” or “not filtered”.

The best celebrity-owned wines for holiday gifting

The wine industry is booming. According to market research firm Fortune Business Insights, the wine market was worth $364.25 billion in 2019. And it’s only getting bigger. It’s projected to grow to be worth $444.93 billion by 2027. 

Whether they come from a family with a long history of winemaking or are simply entrepreneurs looking to dip their toes into a new business venture, a number of celebs are getting in on the grape action.

From actors to models and even musicians, the stars are turning to the grapevine and launching wine brands. Ready to fill your glass? Sip back and relax with these seven vegan-friendly celebrity-owned wine brands.
