Compiled by Monique Bell, Ph.D, Chief of Cultural Insights and Partnerships, the directory provides a solution to the African Diaspora's lack of visibility to the $70 Billion wine industry.A destination for consumers supporting the call to Buy Black, the directory connects wine lovers with brands, distributors, and retailers to create a culture-forward and equitable ecosystem where less than 1% of entrepreneurs of color are represented. The Sip Consciously Directory features businesses across the world, including Rusty Rabbit (London), J.Moss (Napa), House of Pur Vin (Detroit), Cheramie Wine (Dallas), Aslina Wines (South Africa), and Il Palazzone, (Italy), Love Cork Screw (Chicago), and more.Uncorked & Cultured was birthed as a survival tool during the Covid-19 pandemic intersecting Angela McCrae
