Does Louis Vuitton Make Wine?

If you’re a fan of luxury fashion and high-end alcoholic beverages, you may have wondered if Louis Vuitton, the French fashion house known for its iconic bags and accessories, has ventured into the world of wine-making. So, does Louis Vuitton make wine? The answer is yes and no.

While Louis Vuitton may be primarily known for its fashion and leather goods, the brand is actually part of the larger conglomerate LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), which also owns several prestigious wine and spirits brands. These include Moët & Chandon champagne, Château d’Yquem Sauternes, and Hennessy cognac. However, Louis Vuitton itself does not produce or sell any wine under its own label.

That being said, there are some limited edition collaborations that have been released in the past between Louis Vuitton and various wineries. For example, in 2010, Louis Vuitton partnered with Italian winery Donnafugata to create a limited edition bottle of Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria dessert wine. The bottle was designed by artist Sylvie Fleury and featured a bold metallic gold label with the iconic LV monogram.

Additionally, some Louis Vuitton boutiques offer their customers a complimentary glass of champagne while they shop. This champagne is typically Moët & Chandon Imperial Brut NV or Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV – both part of LVMH’s portfolio.

In summary, while Louis Vuitton itself does not produce any wine under its own label, it is part of a larger conglomerate that owns several esteemed wine and spirits brands. And while there have been some limited edition collaborations in the past between Louis Vuitton and wineries, these are few and far between.

So next time you’re sipping on a glass of Moët & Chandon champagne or Hennessy cognac, you can think of it as a small taste of the LVMH empire that Louis Vuitton is a part of.
