Sun Moon Rising Launches World’s First Astrology-Inspired Wine Brand

Read on BusinessWire


NEW YORK, Sept. 17:
Sun Moon Rising, the world’s first astrology-inspired wine brand, launched today unveiling its founding collection online. Created by certified sommelier Kate Webb, the brand offers 12 distinct wines sustainably sourced, handcrafted, and purposefully curated to embody the unique characteristics of its corresponding Zodiac sign. Sun Moon Rising aims to reimagine the way consumers experience wine, expertly fusing the arts of astrology and winemaking to elevate every occasion.

Female-owned and committed to sustainability, Sun Moon Rising champions New York as an emerging wine region. The brand is dedicated to producing premium, high-quality wines in collaboration with award-winning winemakers, local vineyards, and astrologers to bring its cosmic vision to life.

Webb’s passion for creating unique wine experiences began in New York City’s top Michelin-starred restaurants, where she honed her craft as a Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Certified Sommelier. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, it sparked her entrepreneurial spirit. “This led me to the surprising realization that no wine brand catered specifically to the 12 Zodiac signs,” stated Webb. “By blending astrology and winemaking, we’re giving people a personal and meaningful way to connect with wine—fostering community, creating deeper connections, and enhancing every celebration.”

Sun Moon Rising upholds organic practices, labor ethics, and small-batch production. In collaboration with New York’s Heron Hill Winery, the brand ensures these values are integral to its winemaking process. Additional product details include:
