Meet the Founder: Nneka Ihim

BIDO Sparkling Wines was founded by Nneka Ihim, a licensed attorney, entrepreneur, and reality television personality whose passion for celebration and fine sparkling wines led her to launch the brand. Nneka's vision was to create a wine that was both high-quality and deeply personal, paying homage to her Nigerian heritage. The brand name itself, "Bido," is an Igbo word meaning "begin," and the logo features Nigeria's national flower, the Yellow Trumpet.

Nneka Ihim is committed to representing Black excellence and culture within the typically less diverse world of French wine. By sourcing from Europe's finest vineyards and overseeing the refinement process in the historic Loire Valley, she ensures that BIDO not only delivers an exceptional product but also acts as an inspiring symbol of success that can begin at any moment.

FAQs

What makes this Black-owned sparkling wine unique?
BIDO Sparkling Brut Rosé is unique because it is a Black-owned brand founded by Nneka Ihim that is explicitly rooted in her Nigerian heritage. The name "Bido" is an Igbo word for "begin," symbolizing opportunity, and the wine is produced in the prestigious French Loire Valley using the traditional Champagne method (Méthode Traditionnelle), marrying cultural identity with classic European craftsmanship.

Is this sparkling rosé dry or sweet?
The BIDO Brut Rosé is classified as "Brut," which designates a dry style of sparkling wine. It offers a perfectly balanced and fruity palate that is refreshing and vibrant, but it is not overtly sweet. This makes it an ideal choice for both sipping on its own or pairing with a wide variety of foods.

How should I serve BIDO Sparkling Brut Rosé?
This elegant sparkling rosé is highly versatile. Serve well-chilled as an aperitif, or pair it with light appetizers, fresh seafood, brunch fare, or fruit-based desserts. Its vibrant structure also makes it a wonderful addition to upscale gatherings and celebratory moments.

Why does a French wine contain Spanish grapes like Tempranillo and Bobal?
While the wine is made in the French Loire Valley using the esteemed Méthode Traditionnelle for secondary fermentation, the base wine is crafted from Tempranillo and Bobal grapes, which are typically Spanish. This reflects the brand’s modern approach to craft spirits and quality sourcing, bringing an approachable, fruit-forward profile to a classic French sparkling method.
