Three ways in.
There has to be skin in the game. Community comes first; we're building membership step by step and we won't promise what we can't deliver yet. Here's what exists today.

Admirers, drinkers, friends of the movement.
What you get today- Get the news first: events, releases, stories

- Be counted when we talk to the industry

Founding-era brands that want in are being grandfathered while dues and formal criteria are finalized. Ask.
Tell us who you are.
Four doors, one room. Pick the one that fits and a founder replies. Brands get the shelf conversation; industry people get the roundtable; everyone gets the news first.
An intentionally
wide umbrella.
TMOWSA serves minority-owned and women-owned wine and spirits businesses and the people who work alongside them. That includes Black, Asian, Hispanic and Latino, Native American, and women founders, and the broader community building the industry around them.
Formal membership criteria will track recognized state and federal definitions of minority- and women-owned business enterprises, and are under legal review. Until then, everyone is welcome as a supporter, and eligible brands are welcome to apply.
Good.
We need bottlers, sommeliers, glass and label designers, cork makers, brokers, growers, cooperages, photographers, lawyers and accountants. Every trade that touches a bottle. Whatever talent you already have, there's a place to lend it to a billion-dollar industry.
