Overview

  • As Ever’s 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available through its U.S. website on August 5 at 12 PM PT/3 PM ET following a teaser video released on the eve of Meghan’s 44th birthday.
  • The inaugural 2023 Napa Valley Rosé sold out in under an hour on July 1 as demand far exceeded the limited production run.
  • Experts say supply shortages and pauses in As Ever’s social media posts and newsletters are undermining the brand’s ability to capitalize on consumer interest.
  • Brand advisors point to Kylie Minogue’s model of supermarket distribution and accessible pricing as a blueprint for scaling Meghan’s wine business globally.
  • As Ever currently requires a three-bottle minimum order for $90 plus $20 shipping, which confines sales to a direct-to-consumer U.S. audience.
