Barefoot Wine is a globally recognized wine brand that traces its beginnings back to 1965 in California, USA. The brand was famously revived in 1986 by Davis Bynum and Michael Houlihan, who named it 'Barefoot Cellars' and established its iconic footprint logo. Since those early days, it has grown into one of the most popular wine brands in the world, known for its approachable style and vibrant varietals.
While the grapes are primarily sourced from vineyards in California, the product shown reflects global distribution practices. This specific bottle mentions being bottled by Encirc in the UK (CH2 4LF), which is a common practice for large alcohol brands to minimize shipping carbon footprints by transporting wine in bulk and bottling it closer to the target market.
In 2005, the brand was acquired by E. & J. Gallo Winery, the largest family-owned winery in the United States and a major powerhouse in the global beverage industry. Today, E. & J. Gallo continues to own and manage Barefoot, directing its global expansion and maintaining its headquarters in Modesto, California.
