"This Black woman‑owned downtown wine shop and tasting room, owned by Regina Gaines, is closing for good on Friday, December 27 following a nine‑year run. In addition to selling bottles for retail, the space regularly hosted DJ sets, brunches, and other special events for the downtown crowd. Crain’s Detroit noted the space’s impact downtown, writing, "...has been more than a wine shop. It has been a home for connection, culture, and celebration. Together, we’ve created unforgettable memories, and none of it would have been possible without your love and support." - Serena Maria Daniels
"With its Vibe on the Vin DJ nights, jazz brunches, and heated igloo seating for up to six guests, House of Pure Vin makes wine sampling an adventure. The downtown wine spot stocks a wide variety of bottles for sale, including half-bottles. Guests can also enjoy virtual and in-person tastings by reservation." - Serena Maria Daniels

"As the first Black woman in metro Detroit to own a luxury wine brand, she also wants to inspire others. That’s why it was fitting that she launched her brand at House of Pure Vin in Detroit on Thursday evening. Regina Gaines, owner of the downtown Detroit wine shop, helped connect Thompson to the right people. The 3,100-square-foot space was packed Thursday evening with a fashionable set — most of them Black, and many of them women — as Opulence Wine sold out." - Monica Williams
