Kiss of Wine

What Kiss of Wine does

Kiss of Wine is a UK-based direct-to-consumer canned wine brand founded in September 2020 by Jennifer Browarczyk. The company sources single-varietal wines from small, independent winemakers across Italy, France, Germany, and Spain and packages them in 250ml aluminium cans supplied by Ardagh Group, with central canning performed at its Berlin facility rather than at origin wineries to roughly double palletised shipping volume and reduce emissions. Its current portfolio spans ten SKUs organised by style-based names (Wild, Feisty, Smooth, Crisp, Zesty, Chill, Intense, Picante) plus sparkling variants, designed to demystify wine selection for consumers and eliminate waste from opened bottles.

The business operates primarily through a Shopify-powered DTC website with free UK mainland delivery, a six-can minimum order, 24-can event packs, six-can taster packs, gift cards, and a monthly Adventurer subscription that ships all eight core wines. Distribution is layered with a stockist/reseller programme and a freelance-led on-trade push targeting premium Zone 1-2 London venues for home delivery via Uber Eats and Deliveroo. The company is privately held, undisclosed on revenue or funding, sized at 1-10 employees, with leadership including Jennifer Browarczyk as founder and Nick Beck as Chief Commercial Officer. Marketing relies on an educational wine blog, Instagram, Facebook, and a sustainability narrative built around the 82% UK can recycling rate and 2.5x lower carbon footprint versus glass bottles.
