NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Laithwaites Wine, a leading direct-to-home curated wine service, today announces the release of a limited-edition wine created for The American LGBTQ+ Museum. Made in close collaboration, The American LGBTQ+ Museum Pride Blend displays the vibrance of its community, and 10% of its proceeds will be donated to the museum.

"We are deeply honored by the creation of the Pride Blend and the generous support it brings to the American LGBTQ+ Museum. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to visibility, inclusivity and mutual support within our community," explained Ben Garcia, Executive Director at The American LGBTQ+ Museum.

The American LGBTQ+ Museum is currently preparing a permanent home in New York City. Every bottle of Pride Blend sold will help the museum create spaces that tell, and cherish, LGBTQ+ stories.

"We hope the LGBTQ+ community put this bottle on proud display and put it to good use at a big celebration. We love knowing the donated proceeds will lead to more special experiences, created by the museum itself," remarked Tony Laithwaite, founder of Laithwaites Wine.

Pride Blend is a rich red wine crafted by Annette Bergevin, a talented lesbian winemaker in Washington. To create the label, The American LGBTQ+ Museum held a contest and chose "All That Glitters Is You," a vibrant depiction of the San Diego Pride Parade from internationally collected artist RD Riccoboni.

Pride Blend will be poured at events for the American LGBTQ+ Museum throughout the year and is now available for purchase at www.Laithwaites.com/Pride.
