“Welcome to Happy Cork!” That is how Sunshine Foss welcomes people into her wine store in Brooklyn, New York. She opened the store in 2018. Today, Foss is one of a growing number of Black people in the wine industry. She said she speaks with Black winemakers who tell her many owners of wine stores are not interested in buying wine from them. “So, for me, it’s extremely important to be able to give this platform to a lot of these Black-owned winemakers.” Foss carries wines from all over the world, but she pays special attention to those made by African Americans. The store now sells wine offerings by American singers Mary J. Blige and John Legend, and basketball star Dwyane Wade. When she first opened her store, however, she found it hard to find wines made by Black people. But now people know about her store and ask her to sell their wine.
