Woman at Wine Tasting Event

maybe the wine industry needs to pull its head out of the barrel

Let’s be honest—wine has an image problem. Somewhere between the “hints of wet stone” tasting notes and the $200 bottles collecting dust in fancy wine shops, the industry forgot about something kind of important: the drinkers.

At a time when the wine world is wringing its hands over declining sales and wondering why younger drinkers are ghosting them for seltzers and canned cocktails, we’ve been seeing something completely different. At Good Fucking Wines, we’ve shown up at dozens of major tasting events—and you know what we’ve noticed? People who don’t even consider themselves wine drinkers are lining up at our table.

Not just sipping and walking away—they’re staying. They’re laughing. They’re buying.

Why? Because we don’t treat wine like a homework assignment.

We’re not here to make you memorize vintages or the soil composition of a vineyard in France you can’t even find on a map. We’re here to pour you something that tastes f*cking good and makes you feel like the life of the party—not a student in Wine 101.

At every event, the same thing happens. Our table is the one with the buzz, the energy, the crowd that’s actually enjoying themselves. You can practically see people’s curiosity kick in—“Who are these people, and what the hell is going on over there?”

They wander over, maybe skeptical, maybe thinking we’re just another gimmick brand with a loud name. Then they try the wine. Game over.

It’s not because we’re trying to be different for the sake of it. It’s because we’ve built something that connects. Wine that’s bold, smooth, and fun as hell to drink. Branding that doesn’t take itself too seriously. A vibe that welcomes anyone—whether you’ve been cellaring Bordeaux since 1998 or you just want a glass that pairs with pizza and bad decisions.

And sure, we’ve impressed the critics too. We’ve got the medals, the scores, the credentials. But while the industry chases prestige, we’re chasing connection.

Maybe it’s time the rest of the wine world takes a sip of reality.

If you want to bring new drinkers into the fold, meet them where they are—with authenticity, attitude, and flavor that delivers.

Because while others are trying to save wine, we’re already out here making people fall in love with it again—one Good Fucking glass at a time.
