Eight-time Grammy-nominated diamond-certified global superstar Avril Lavigne is officially launching her first wine, Complicated, a limited-edition small batch Pinot Noir created in collaboration with Banshee Wines.
Paying tribute to her RIAA 3x platinum-certified 2002 breakout single "Complicated" on the heels of her highly successful North American Greatest Hits Tour, Complicated is described as a light, velvety Pinot Noir layered with bright notes of cherry and raspberry, crafted to embody the confidence, complexity, and creativity that define both Avril and Banshee. The wine will be available for $30 exclusively on the Banshee website and, while supplies last, for tasting and purchase at the Banshee tasting room.
To celebrate the launch of Avril and Banshee's Complicated Pinot Noir, Banshee is offering a limited run of 50 "Sip and Spin" kits that may be added to a wine purchase. Each kit includes a record player and Avril's Let Go album on vinyl, featuring her chart-topping hit, "Complicated."
"Over the last two years on my Greatest Hits Tour, I was rocking out with the Banshee bar set up backstage every night, ready for the afterparty, so teaming up on our own wine just felt right," said Lavigne. "I hope that everyone can crack open a bottle with their best friends, blast the music that started it all for me, and enjoy the moment. Life can be complicated, but a good glass of wine doesn't have to be."
Banshee announced that in Avril's honor, it will make a $10,000 donation to benefit songwriting camps for She Is The Music, an organization dedicated to creating more opportunities for women in the music industry.
