Premium Wine with a Personal Story.
We partner with women and underrepresented winemakers to put their award-winning, zero sugar wines into eco-friendly cans. Each can shares the signature and story of the producer who crafted it.
Why Maker?
The perfect size
Each can is ⅓ of a bottle, making it the perfect single-serving pour.
Diverse winemakers
Enjoy wine crafted by female and minority-led wineries.
Award-winning wines
Maker is the highest-rated canned wine ever, with 20+ Gold medals.
Dry, 0g of Sugar
Our wines are dry with 0g of sugar and less than 5 carbs per serving.
