Now, the Grammy-winning singer is expanding to the wine and spirits industry with a collection of wines just in time for summer.
Sun Goddess Wines is an exclusive collection of limited-edition wines created by the 49-year-old entertainer in collaboration with the Fantinel Winery featuring a Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio based on two of Blige’s favorite summer drinks.
“[Creating a wine] wasn’t something that was originally at the top of my head,” Blige said in an interview with ESSENCE.
The singer got the name from her sister who calls her “Sun Goddess” as a nickname as Blige openly loves to sunbathe whenever she gets the chance.
“When I hang out with my sister and we’ll [vacation] to an island or something like that, I hang out in the sun a little longer than everybody else,” Blige explained to ESSENCE.
