Product FAQs
What is Chardonnay grape marc?
Chardonnay grape marc (also called pomace) is the remaining skins, seeds, stems and pulp after the grape is pressed for juice. It is a zero-waste product.
Why Coastal Chardonnay grapes?
The Coastal Chardonnay grapes from Jackson Family Wines used in the making of WellVine™ are unique. First, Jackson Family Wines' highest tenet is respecting the land in which the grapevines are grown. They use regenerative farming to ensure the health of the soil and to ultimately produce the best Chardonnay grapes.
Second, the wide range of temperatures where the grapes are grown (cold at night, hot in the day) causes the grapevines to increase production of certain nutrients as a defense. These nutrients include phenolic compounds, like flavonoids, all of which help the plants protect themselves against temperature-induced damage. These nutrients also contribute to the grape's resilience. The accumulation of these phytonutrients in the grapes—and consequently in the marc, which is the solid remains after the grapes have been pressed—means that the nutritional properties of the grapes are enhanced.

What is WellVine™?
WellVine™ is a real food prebiotic ingredient, made entirely from the marc (also called pomace) of Coastal Chardonnay grapes sourced from Jackson Family Wines. This is the co-product of the winemaking process. The marc of these grapes has been extensively studied at the USDA, UC Davis, and UT Knoxville and found to be extraordinarily rich in natural plant nutrients such as polyphenols and plant fibers such as oligosaccharides. The fibers in WellVine™ are known as prebiotic fiber, and are fuel for the “good-guy” bacteria that live and thrive in your gut.
How is WellVine™ made?
First, Coastal Chardonnay grapes are pressed for juice to make wine. Then, the leftover skins, seeds and pulp (known as the Chardonnay marc) is handled with the highest standards of food safety and undergoes proprietary drying and milling processes to preserve the rich nutrients found naturally in the marc, transforming it into WellVine™.
Is WellVine™ third party tested for quality?
From start to finish, WellVine is handled with the utmost care with the consumer in mind. WellVine undergoes rigorous quality and food safety testing ensure its safety for consumers.
Does WellVine™ contain alcohol?
No! WellVine™ does not contain any alcohol. Chardonnay grapes are pressed for juice to make wine, and we take the rest to create WellVine™! Our Chardonnay grape marc never comes into contact with the winemaking process, so it has zero alcohol residue.
What products or foods contain WellVine™?
Currently, WellVine™ is used in Vine to Bar™ chocolate. We also have two lines of dietary supplement powders: The Original WellVine™, and WellVine™ + cocoa.
How is WellVine™ different from other grape powders?
WellVine™ is made from pressed Coastal Chardonnay grapes sourced from Jackson Family Wines. It is this specific grape marc that is heavily researched, so all findings on its polyphenol and oligosaccharides content is specific to WellVine™.
Is WellVine™ third party certified?
From start to finish, WellVine is handled with the utmost care with the consumer in mind. Not only are our production partners compliant with Current Good Manufacturing Practices, part of FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), they've gone the extra mile to be certified by the globally recognized standards organizations NSF or BRCGS. WellVine undergoes rigorous quality and food safety testing ensure its safety for consumers.
What does “zero-waste” product mean?
Typically in winemaking, the grapes are juiced, the juice becomes wine and the rest of the grape is seen as “waste” and gets composted, fed to animals or goes to trash. We take the entire edible portion after Chardonnay grapes are pressed for juice. We do not create any other waste streams through extracting the seeds or skins alone, instead we dry and mill the whole pressed grape. Thus we use the whole Chardonnay grape without creating other waste.
What is a polyphenol? flavanol?
Flavanols (also written as flavan-3-ol) are naturally occurring compounds found in numerous plants, fruits, and vegetables, including wine grapes, tea, and chocolate. These flavanols have remarkable antioxidant activity, and their potential health benefits have been extensively studied. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has evaluated the extensive evidence and proposed the first daily recommendation for flavanol intake due to its impact on cardiovascular health. Consuming more flavanols in your diet may be a beneficial way to support overall health and well-being.
Is WellVine™ dairy free?
Yes, WellVine™ is dairy-free, making it suitable for those with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy.
Is WellVine™ soy free?
