Since Issa Rae rose to fame with Insecure in 2016, she’s found a way to start her own empire.
She’s got
Raedio, her own record label, and
Hoorae, a production company. Now, to that growing list of accomplishments, she can include wine boss. With the launch of Viarae Prosecco, Rae is officially the owner of her own wine brand.
The drink comes as a collaboration with E. & J. Gallo Winery and is touted as “a bright, crisp, lively, and refreshingly refined take on the classic Italian sparkling wine,” and its “expressive, aromatic, and subtly dry style is perfect for sipping on its own or as a co-star in a cocktail.”
Rae’s passion for wine was also documented on
Insecure, and she’s excited to finally let everyone else in on the beverage she helped develop.
