Just Enough Wines

What Just Enough Wines does

Just Enough Wines is a female-founded, direct-to-consumer producer of premium canned wines headquartered in San Francisco and operating since 2020. The company packages still, sparkling, and alcohol-removed wines in 250ml aluminum cans (each sized to 1.5 standard glasses), positioning the format as a portion-controlled, low-waste alternative to traditional 750ml bottles for mindful and on-the-go consumption. Grapes are sourced primarily from California Central Coast vineyards certified by Sustainability in Practice (SIP) and the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CSWA), and the company is a member of 1% for the Planet, donating 1% of annual sales to environmental non-profits.

The core product portfolio spans seven varietals — Brut Bubbles, Rosé Bubbles, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah — alongside a 2024 Rosé, with a non-alcoholic line (Alcohol-Removed Brut Bubbles and Pinot Noir, both under 0.5% ABV). Curated 6-can sets (Red Set, Essentials Set, Sparkling Set, Curated Set, NA Set) are sold alongside individual varietals at $48-$72 per 6-pack. Distribution is exclusively through the company's Shopify e-commerce store with nationwide U.S. shipping; there is no disclosed retail or wholesale presence. A subscription program provides 20% off every order plus free shipping on orders of $150+ and supports weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or quarterly cadence with skip/cancel flexibility.

The brand has accumulated credible third-party validation, including 90+ point ratings from Wine Enthusiast, James Suckling, and The Tasting Panel, multiple Gold medals at the San Diego, Los Angeles, and Houston Rodeo wine competitions, and a Best of Class at the 2024 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Earned media coverage includes Oprah Daily, Forbes, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Wine Enthusiast. Operating leadership consists of founder and CEO Jessica Hershfield, co-founder and COO Kaitlyn Lo, and VP of Sales Josh Allard; the company has 1-10 employees and has raised disclosed funding from Zell Founders Fund (2021) and 37 Angels (2024).
