Trinchero Family Wine & Spirits accelerates non-alcoholic leadership through exclusive partnership with Libby. Apr 10, 2026. ST. HELENA, Calif., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Trinchero Family Wine & Spirits today announced a strategic sales and marketing partnership with Libby Beverage Company, becoming the exclusive U.S. sales and distribution partner for Libby Non-Alcoholic Wines. The partnership builds on Trinchero's long-standing leadership in the non-alcohol space, including the consistently category-leading FRE brand. Libby was founded by winemaker Grant Hemingway and beverage entrepreneur John Green to bring a modern, culturally relevant, quality-driven approach to non-alcoholic wine. The brand focuses on premium de-alcoholized sparkling Rosé and White blends (SRP $15.99), emphasizing balance, acidity, and drinkability rather than alcohol removal alone. In 2025, Libby emerged as a high-growth brand in the non-alcohol set and has continued to expand nationwide distribution since. "Partnering with Trinchero gives us the scale and expertise to take Libby to the national stage while continuing to elevate what consumers expect from non-alcoholic wine," said Grant Hemingway, CEO and Co-Founder of Libby. "Together, we see a real opportunity to help shape the next generation of the category." "Libby is a strong addition to our non-alcoholic portfolio and aligns with our goal of bringing more consumers into the wine category, while also supporting our customers by helping them build more dynamic shelf sets with a broader range of high-quality non- and low-alcohol options," said Brie Wohld, Vice President, Marketing for Trinchero Family Wine & Spirits. The partnership further expands Trinchero's portfolio of more than 50 wine and spirits brands.

Pernod Ricard sells California sparkling wine brands to Trinchero Family Wine and Spirits. French drinks giant accelerates U.S. wine exit as it sharpens focus on champagne and spirits portfolio. 2026-04-06 Pernod Ricard has completed the sale of its California sparkling wine brands, marking a significant shift in its U.S. wine business. The French group announced it finalized the sale of its Mumm Napa sparkling wines, excluding champagne, to California-based Trinchero Family Wine and Spirits. The deal also includes the Mumm Sparkling California and DVX brands. Trinchero, which has operated in Napa Valley for 75 years, is one of the leading wine producers in the United States. The transaction amount was not disclosed. Pernod Ricard clarified that the sale does not include the G.H. Mumm champagne brand or other international Mumm operations. In a separate move, Pernod Ricard also confirmed the sale of its Kenwood Vineyards in Sonoma Valley to F. Korbel & Bros, another California producer known for sparkling wines. This deal covers about eight hectares of vineyards, winemaking facilities, and Kenwood's visitor center. The financial terms were not made public. These sales are part of Pernod Ricard's ongoing strategy to focus on its core businesses of champagne and spirits. In 2025, the company had already divested an international portfolio of wines as it shifted attention away from still wines in favor of higher-margin products. The company stated that these transactions reflect its continuous evaluation of strategic opportunities. The moves come at a time when the global alcoholic beverage market faces challenges, with slower growth and changing consumer preferences affecting sales across categories. Against this backdrop, Pernod Ricard and Brown-Forman, the American owner of Jack Daniel's whiskey, confirmed on March 26 that they are in talks regarding a possible merger. Both companies see potential benefits in combining their commercial strengths across different markets. Pernod Ricard's exit from most of its U.S. wine business signals a broader trend among major beverage groups to streamline portfolios and concentrate on premium segments where they hold strong positions. The company continues to invest in its champagne brands and spirits portfolio as it adapts to evolving market conditions and prepares for possible consolidation within the industry. Liked the read?
