What AVALINE does
Avaline is a U.S. organic wine brand founded in 2018 by actress Cameron Diaz and entrepreneur Katherine Power and officially launched in July 2020. The company produces a portfolio of wines — still reds, whites, rosé, sparkling, Prosecco, and limited-edition bottlings — made from certified organic grapes sourced from a network of European producers (EthicDrinks, Familia Torres, Famille Fabre, Fasoli Gino, Raventós i Blanc, Castelo de Pedregosa, and others in France, Spain, Italy, and Germany). Production is formulated with low sulfites (under 100ppm versus a regulatory ceiling of 350ppm), zero added sugar in still wines, and vegan-friendly, gluten-free processes. The brand's signature differentiator is full ingredient transparency: every label discloses all additives, fining agents, and origins — breaking with the wine industry's convention of opaque labeling under the trademarked tagline "Wine with Nothing to Hide™."
The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market. Direct-to-consumer sales are driven through the drinkavaline.com storefront and the Wine Club subscription, which requires a 12-bottle minimum, offers 15% off plus free shipping, and supports flexible monthly, bi-monthly, and quarterly cadences. Wholesale distribution covers major U.S. grocery chains including Kroger (20 divisions across 27 states), Whole Foods (with a doubling of footprint announced for summer 2026), Target, and Sprouts, supported by a growing U.S. sales team and a Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits distribution agreement. The company also sells through delivery and gifting integrations with DRINKS, UrbanStems, Instacart, Postmates, and Uber Eats, and runs a corporate and event gifting concierge service for weddings and B2B customers.
Avaline is led by CEO Jennifer Purcell (elevated from CFO in 2022), with co-founders Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power providing brand-level visibility, and winemaker Ashley Herzberg overseeing production with a "less, but better" philosophy. The brand is incorporated as Avaline LTD., headquartered in California with operations running between New York City and the West Coast, employs 11–50 people, and reports 2023 revenue of $33 million with double-digit growth — positioned as one of the fastest-growing organic wine brands in the United States.

AVALINE competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Scout & Cellar: DTC clean-label wine brand built around ingredient transparency, low-sulfite production, and curated subscription shipments — overlapping exactly with Avaline's value proposition and target health-conscious consumer.
- Dry Farm Wines: Subscription-based DTC natural and organic wine club sourcing from small European growers with an emphasis on low-intervention, additive-free wines — a near-direct comparison to Avaline's European sourcing model.
- FitVine Wine: Clean-wine CPG brand with broad retail distribution (Whole Foods, Kroger, Target) and a positioning around low sugar, low sulfite, and low calorie — closely competing with Avaline's clean-label retail SKUs.
- Winc: DTC-first wine brand with a subscription model and curated member offerings; previously focused on personalized wine but pivoted to clean ingredients, directly competing with Avaline's Wine Club mechanism.
- Bright Cellars: Wine subscription club using a taste-profile quiz to ship curated bottles monthly — overlapping on the subscription-first DTC GTM, though less differentiated on ingredient transparency.
Broad incumbents
- Bonterra Organic Wines (Fetzer Vineyards): Long-standing certified-organic wine brand from Fetzer Vineyards with national grocery distribution, comparable SKU lineup (reds, whites, rosé), and the same organic positioning — a much larger scale incumbent in Avaline's direct category.
- JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery: Premium U.S. wine brand with national retail distribution and DTC channels — a broader incumbent demonstrating the brand-to-grocery architecture Avaline is following at a smaller scale.
Emerging players
- The Organic Wine Company: Specialty organic wine retailer and importer offering curated organic and biodynamic wines directly to consumers — a smaller-scale emerging player in the same organic-wine category.
- Bonny Doon Vineyard: Long-running California winery known for unconventional, terroir-driven and increasingly organic wines with a strong DTC following — an adjacent niche player with overlapping clean-wine messaging.
- Underwood Wine (Maison Noir): Oregon-based DTC-first wine brand blending approachable packaging with organic and sustainable sourcing, competing in the same modern, consumer-friendly wine category.
