Assessment

Jake Kloberdanz stated on September 9, 2021, that OneHope Wine would become the largest direct-to-consumer (DTC) wine brand in the United States within a 'couple of years' (setting a horizon of circa September 2023). Industry benchmark publications across 2021 through 2024—including the Sovos ShipCompliant / WineBusiness Analytics DTC Wine Shipping Reports and Silicon Valley Bank's State of the US Wine Industry Reports—did not rank OneHope Wine as the #1 DTC wine brand by volume or revenue. Competitors such as Naked Wines plc held significantly larger DTC revenue and active member bases in the U.S. during this period. Furthermore, disclosures from OneHope executives in 2022 confirmed annual production of 83,000 to 125,000 nine-liter cases (ranking in the top 250 U.S. wineries overall) and described the company as 'on track to soon become' or 'one of the largest' DTC wineries, rather than the verified market leader.

Sovos ShipCompliant and WineBusiness Analytics Annual DTC Shipping Reports (2021–2024) do not rank OneHope Wine as the top U.S. DTC wine brand by volume or revenue.
Silicon Valley Bank Annual State of the US Wine Industry Reports (2022–2024) do not identify OneHope Wine as the #1 DTC wine brand.
Filings from DTC competitor Naked Wines plc in FY2021 and FY2022 documented larger U.S. DTC revenue and subscriber scale.
Interviews with OneHope President Tiffany Wojtkiewicz (April 2022) and Chief Impact Officer Kristen Shroyer (October 2022) cited production placing the brand in the top 250 U.S. wineries by volume, describing the #1 position as a future target rather than an achieved milestone.
