There's nothing like getting home after a hard day and pouring yourself a glass of wine. But did you know most wines aren't vegan? Crazy right? Traditional alcohol production uses ingredients such as egg whites, gelatin or dried fish bladders to filter the grapes - suddenly that vino doesn't look as appealing does it! Thankfully, some brands have stepped up with delicious vegan options. Our favorite is Le Grand Courtage, founded by Tawnya Falkner, a fierce female entrepreneur who didn't let anything hold her back from following her passion. During her many travels (43 countries so far!), Tawnya realized the important role wine plays in all cultures. It brings people together, it highlights celebrations, it helps us to unwind. But it can also be snobby, and some expensive brands don't even taste that nice (and aren't even plant-based!). She wanted to create a sparkling wine that's delicious, affordable, and vegan - a wine suitable for every day and every celebration. So she moved from San Francisco to France to make it happen. And, despite this being a highly male-dominated industry, she's succeeded! Without pre-conceived notions of what wine should be, she's been able to create a light, refreshing, sparkling wine and grow her business from nothing. Her motto: don't let anything hold you back, especially not insecurity. Dream big and go for it! Le Grand Courtage bottles are available to buy State-wide. Her latest wine, Très Chic Rosé, has our thumbs up over and above other brands. It's perfect on its own, or made into cocktails. We love it! You can get yours here.
