What is the ‘Complicated’ Pinot Noir?
Avril Lavigne has extended her creative reach into wine with a limited-edition Pinot Noir named Complicated, a nod to her 2002 hit. The release is a collaboration with Banshee Wines and follows a partnership the singer and the winery began in 2024. The drop arrives after Lavigne’s highly successful North American Greatest Hits Tour, combining music nostalgia with small-batch winemaking.
Tasting notes and style
Complicated is described as light and velvety, layered with bright cherry and raspberry notes. The wine aims to be approachable yet refined — an everyday sipper with a touch of polish that reflects Avril’s confident, individual style.
Availability and price
Bottles are priced at $30 and are available through the Banshee Wines website and at the Banshee tasting room while supplies last. Given the limited production, fans and collectors are advised to act quickly.
Limited Sip and Spin kit
To bridge music and wine, Banshee created a special run of 50 Sip and Spin kits. Each kit pairs a bottle of Complicated Pinot Noir with a turntable and a copy of Avril’s debut album, Let Go, on vinyl. The kits are a targeted collectible for fans who want a multisensory experience — hear the record, pour a glass, and revisit the era that helped define Avril’s career.
Philanthropy: supporting women in music
Beyond the product drop, Banshee and Avril are donating $10,000 to She Is The Music, an organization that supports women songwriters and creators. The donation will help fund songwriting camps and programs designed to boost female representation across the industry.
Why this matters
Celebrity wines are common, but Complicated leans into Avril’s musical identity rather than merely borrowing a name. The release feels intentional: a small-batch wine with tasting-room availability, a vinyl pairing that emphasizes artistry, and a tangible commitment to supporting women in music.
How to buy
Visit the Banshee Wines website to order a bottle or check availability at the Banshee tasting room. If you want the Sip and Spin kit, expect limited stock — only 50 kits were produced.
Avril’s first wine is positioned as a joyful, confident release that invites fans to slow down, turn up the volume, and savor the moment. With approachable tasting notes, accessible pricing, and a charitable element, Complicated merges fan service with a purposeful creative collaboration.
