RHYTHM & WINE Competitors

Wine drinkers and winemakers deserve better. Naked Wines was built to make that happen. The idea is simple. Winemakers make better wine when they have the freedom to do it properly. Connect those winemakers to wine drinkers and everybody wins.

We are a team of like-minded people bringing a vision to life, which is to craft unique products that offer a touch of luxury for everyday indulgence. Founded in 2014, Copper Cane Wines & Provisions has redefined the modern winery with their unique approach to the winemaking process. When grapevine canes begin to lignify, or turn to winter hardy wood, they take on a copper hue. This color shift signals that the green character and harsh tannins have been purged from the vine (and therefore the resulting wine). Only then are the grapes ready for harvest. For Copper Cane’s founder, Joseph Wagner, this patience is essential. While most growers pick their grapes as sugar content hits a certain mark, Wagner waits for physiological maturity to ensure consistency year to year. The result is a wine full of rich, ripe fruit flavors—a style Wagner and his family have always loved. Representative brands include Elouan, Belle Glos, Napa Valley Quilt, and Böen.
