Charles Smith Wines Changes Name to ‘Wines of Substance’

Charles Smith, founder of Washington’s largest winemaker-owned winery and the 4th largest wine producer in the state, today announced a new name for his international company – Wines of Substance.

This change follows the sale of Charles Smith Wines: The Modernist Collection, which included five wines, to Constellation Brands, Inc. in October of 2016.

This launches a revitalized vision for the Wines of Substance portfolio of wines, Smith says, which includes K Vintners, SIXTO, CasaSmith, Substance and B. Leighton.
