Du Nord Social Spirits nation’s first U.S.-owned distillery

Delta Airlines Inc. recently announced that its flyers can choose from a seasonally inspired beverage lineup that spotlights the first U.S. Black-owned distillery, Du Nord Social Spirits, and Une Femme’s 100% women-made wine.

"Working with suppliers who not only provide us with the best products but also help us offer products that are made by people who reflect the communities we serve is a meaningful demonstration of our core values at work,” said Mike Henny, Delta’s managing director – onboard service operations.

Du Nord Social Spirits’ mission is to diversify the craft alcohol community. It was founded in 2013 by Chris and Shanelle Montana.

Du Nord’s Foundation Vodka is available for sale on all domestic flights. In 2022, Delta will bring on more Du Nord products and plans to launch the spirits internationally.

Une Femme produces 100% women-made champagne and sparkling wine; for every bottle the company sells, it donates to a charitable organization with the purpose of improving the lives of women. The company was founded by Jen and Zach Pelka.

Une Femme’s The Callie sparking rose is available for sale on select Delta domestic flights. The airline plans to bring more Une Femme products onboard in 2022.
