Cameron Diaz wine ranked among America’s fastest growing companies
Thirteen drinks brands secured a spot on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list which ranks America’s fastest-growing private companies, including Cameron Diaz’s Avaline. Its CEO tells db that portfolio expansion is underway.
13 drinks businesses, including wine brand Avaline, have been named in the 2025 Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list.
The ranking provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful businesses within the economy’s independent, entrepreneurial businesses.
Companies on this year’s list are ranked according to their percentage revenue growth over three years, from 2021 to 2024.
RTD cocktail brand Carbiss is the first drinks company featured on the list at 35th place. The Plymouth-based company, which saw 6,559% growth in a three-year period, specialises in carb-free, sugar-free, gluten-free spirit-based drinks, tapping into booming wellness trends in the alcoholic beverage sector.
Raising a glass to Avaline
The following drinks business on the list, coming in at spot 280, is bourbon brand RD1 Spirits in Lexington – recording 1,34% growth across the same three-year period.
Next up comes the woman-owned gluten-free brewery, Holidaily Brewing Company, in spot 723. Based in Colorado with Karen Hertz at the helm, the company saw 571% growth over the three years.
And the top wine business on the list is organic wine brand Avaline, founded by Cameron Diaz and Katherine Power in 2020. The business has seen consistent growth since the brand’s founding in 2020, now tracking 50.3% sales growth from 2024 to 2025 after recording 65.6% growth in sales from 2023 to 2024.
Speaking to the drinks business, Avaline CEO Jennifer Purcell said: “Avaline being recognised on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list affirms the incredible work our team is doing to drive the brand forward through sales, awareness, and community building.

Portfolio expansion
“Avaline is setting a new standard for the modern wine experience at a time when consumers are seeking better ingredients and stronger value alignment from the brands they support.
“We’re building on our momentum and have exciting innovations coming later this year that will expand our portfolio of organic wines.”
To qualify for the list, businesses must be privately held, for-profit, based in the US and independent as of December 31 2024, but since then, some companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.
Low-and-no recognition
Companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31 2021, with the minimum revenue requirement US$100,000 for 2021 and US$2 million for 2024.
Several low and no alcohol brands bagged a spot on the list, with the category expected to grow to US$4 billion globally by 2028, according to IWSR. The Free Spirits Company, founded in 2020 by Milan Martin in California, is one of them, coming in at 1,138th place.
The company, which grew by 381% over the three-year period, reimagines cocktails with non-alcoholic expressions that challenge alcohol’s role as the central ingredient.
Brewers make the cut
Then there’s Curious Elixirs – the New York creators of the world’s first booze-free craft cocktails – coming in at 3,542nd place, and Athletic Brewing Company in Connecticut, which focuses on non-alcoholic beers.
Most of the remaining drinks companies on the list are brewing-based – from NoFo Brew Co in Georgia and California’s Distant Brewing, where beers are brewed and poured in a former police station.
But cider, too, gets a look in, with Minneapolis Cider Company sailing in at 1,223rd place, and Aged & Ogre shines a torch for craft whiskey, with 288% growth over the past three years.
