For Bonkosi Horn, wellness is not a check mark, not a daily one and done. “We live in a culture where you work out and then—you’re done, you’re good,” she says. “That’s not necessarily the case.” A lifelong athlete who played Division 1 volleyball at Butler University, Horn says that sport and being active has served as a platform to consider health from all angles. “It was a catalyst for my interest and desire to take as best care of my body and self as possible,” she explains. Horn, who radiates positive energy, honed that line of thinking while working at Lululemon—where she spent a decade cultivating community and events around wellness.

There are plenty of buzzwords surrounding wines both bottled and canned. You’ll find every kind of varietal touted as organic, natural and, yes, even clean. But do these words hold any real meaning when they’re used in connection with wine? And, more importantly, can wine really be “clean”?
