Collins Ave LLC, a premium black-owned wine brand founded by entrepreneur Curtis Collins, is establishing a new presence in the luxury beverage market by making high-end champagne accessible to a broader, diverse audience.
The brand offers a portfolio of sparkling wines. At its core, Collins Ave includes a dry Brut, a fruit-forward Rosé and a premium Prestige Cuvée, all designed to cater to both champagne connoisseurs and new enthusiasts.
Collins, who is only in his twenties, identified a gap in the market for a luxury champagne brand that resonated with urban culture and communities often overlooked by traditional prestige marketing.
His vision, to create a product that maintains the highest quality of craftsmanship while embodying a spirit of inclusive celebration and modern luxury, is evident in his products.
In 2025, Collins Ave graduated from Chase Bank’s ‘Coaching for Impact,’ a program tailored to small business owners and entrepreneurs to empower them with financial coaching, networking opportunities and community building.
“The biggest (Coaching for Impact) takeaway for me would be the relationships,” Collins told the Indiana Minority Business Magazine. “The power of a village and networking has been very impactful. It’s a great gateway to connect with people you may not typically work with or even meet.”

Moreover, the brand has gained significant traction through strategic placements in high-end restaurants, hotels and retail partners across the United States. Its growth is also fueled by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform, allowing it to build a dedicated national following.
Beyond its product, the company emphasizes community engagement and representation. As a successful black-owned business in the competitive alcohol industry, Collins Ave serves as an inspiration and a model for diversity in entrepreneurship.
