1:17Now PlayingJavia Gilliam-Sanford decided to explore the world of wine after working at a big box liquor company, though it became clear there wasn't much diversity in the wine industry.
“The ultimate reason why I got into wine is because you really don't see Black women in this space,” she told PBS News’ Gabrielle Hays.
Out of about 11,600 wineries in the U.S., fewer than 1 percent are Black-owned, according to the Association of African American Vintners.
