Press Love for Maker
"If you’re headed to your friend’s party and she’s, ahem, incredibly discerning about wine—Maker is the vino to bring. The women-owned brand works with small wineries to feature varieties you won’t find at your local liquor store."
"Each can has a different industry-insider “maker,” whose names are on the labels. Maker also prioritizes customer connection with a can club, virtual gatherings and one-on-one community building via SMS."
"For Maker, putting the consumer first means promoting high quality. Best of all, the quality is on par with what consumers can expect from the bottles made by those winemakers."

Wine Industry Love for Maker
Laura Ness
Wine judge and writer
"The Maker cans are gorgeous, and the wines, well, to this wine judge, are pretty freaking amazing. For one, thing, they are fresh and energetic and don’t taste like they came out of a can. That’s because when you put good stuff in the cans, you get good stuff out."
Ray Sholes
Certified Sommelier, @theroyalvines
"OMG I love how Maker is changing the way we see canned wine.... it is truly premium wines just in a different container. I now have the ability to take some of my favorite wine anywhere...and much more of it as well (Honey where's my Murse)."
Cheryl Tiu
Forbes contributor, food journalist
"While every Maker wine I've tried has been delicious, the 2018 Cab Sauv from Alexander Valley made me say "wow" outloud. I would have never imagined enjoying such an incredible RED from a can. It's not a surprise it scored 95 points at the NY Int'l Wine Competition."
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Maker?
Maker is premium canned wine from independent winemakers. We source award-winning wines from the best small producers in California. Each can of wine highlights the story of the small producer who made it, and represents a different maker and region that we love.
What is Maker's criteria for selecting wines?
Quality: Our wines are vintage (year), varietal (grape type), and often vineyard specific. Wines that represent a time and place that the winemaker is proud to put their name on, not white-labeled bulk juice hidden by a fancy label.
Values: Our winemakers believe in sustainable farming practices and low intervention winemaking. Our wines are dry, with zero grams of sugar and minimal sulfur additions.
Diversity: We partner with diverse, small-batch makers to elevate their underrepresented voices and premium wines.
I’m suspicious. How can high quality wine have zero sugar?
Little known fact — nearly all dry wines from reputable small producers have little-to-no residual sugar and correspondingly few carbs.
Is Maker Keto Friendly?
Nearly all dry wines from reputable small producers have little to no residual sugar and correspondingly very low carbs. So yes, Maker is Keto Friendly.
Does the can affect the taste?
No! If you've had a crappy can, chances are it was the quality of the wine, not the can itself, that left a bad taste in your mouth.
