Christina Aguilera is kicking off Pride Month with Fun Wine. Ahead of her performance at the 2022 L.A. Pride Festival this weekend, the pop icon partnered with the wine brand to host the opening of her merch pop-up shop at Momenti LA in West Hollywood, Calif., on Wednesday.
“I wanted to do things that allowed me to not only be a businesswoman, [but] things that I believed in that feel expressive and — no pun intended — fun! And allowed everyone else to express their individuality,” Aguilera told Billboard of working with Fun Wine as their first Chief Culture Officer.
In her new position, Aguilera will work alongside Fun Wine’s founder and CEO Joe Peleg to help continue the brand’s global expansion.
“As soon as I saw the bottle, I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ It popped,” she explained of the vibrantly colored Fun Wine bottles. “I’m so into visuals and self-expression, and the bottle said it all for me. I loved that and I wanted to share it. It’s the perfect time: summer and celebrating with fans,” Aguilera noted before adding, “There’s nothing I like more than being in my backyard and entertaining, and their bottles are so eye-catching.”
