Great Women Spirits — small-batch, house-crafted, classically styled spirits — will begin production with its brand of vodka, gin, and brandy, and has plans to expand the collection in the near future.
The Coppola family has three accomplished female filmmakers — Eleanor, Sofia, and Gia. “My mother, sister, wife, daughter, and granddaughters have all inspired me, as have all of the incredible women we celebrate with Great Women Spirits,” says Francis Ford Coppola. “We all know well the great men of history, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Napoleon and so on. I can think of as many women who distinguished themselves at that level in the fields of politics, science, mathematics and philosophy, so my choices and reasons for this collection are very personal.”
The Family Coppola will officially launch Great Women Spirits on Ada Lovelace Day, October 10, at Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco.
