Elaina Bertrand, founder
Our founder had been in the wine business for decades, working with leading brands in California, Oregon, France, and beyond when it hit her hard: “There’s a gap in the way I’ve been drinking. Why shouldn’t my wine embody the same values as my food, my dog’s food, and my cleaning supplies?” Elaina Bertrand founded Grace + Vine Climate-Friendly Wines ™ to empower people to connect the dots in their own lives—making it possible to enjoy delicious wines as part of a lifestyle that prioritizes the health of our planet. She wants to embolden your inner activist every time you pull a cork.
