MIAMI, Feb. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fun Wine Company is happy to announce that it has appointed Todd Anderson as President of the Company. Mr. Anderson will be responsible for the sales, marketing, distribution, and operations strategy of FUN WINE®. After 16 years with Mark Anthony Brands, maker of highly successful beverages such as Mike's Hard Lemonade® and White Claw®, Anderson joined Lone River Beverage Company as Chief Commercial Officer.

Todd Anderson commented, "I am looking forward to joining this rapidly emerging brand and working closely with the Fun Wine Team on our strategy to further disrupt total beverage alcohol. The Fun Wine Company has a unique opportunity to engage the diverse and evolving North American and international consumer markets by building our brand on the lifestyle occasions behind Music, Fashion, Art, and just plain FUN®." Mr. Anderson continued, "The industry landscape is changing rapidly, and with consumers wanting more from their beverage alcohol choices. I see the Fun Wine portfolio and future innovation bringing new consumers into wine and overall RTD space. Fun Wine has bold flavor profiles, is sweetened with monk fruit, has 5.5% ABV, and only 59 calories per 5 oz pour. I welcome the challenge to make Fun Wine a household name and creating an international FUN® movement."
Founder & CEO Joe Peleg replied, "We are excited to have Todd Anderson join Fun Wine as our President. Todd is a highly accomplished executive with experience across all segments of the alcohol industry, including with the growth of the #1 beverage today, White Claw®. We welcome Todd to the organization as a key member of our Executive Team and are confident that he will be able to expand Fun Wine to unprecedented heights given his leadership in navigating new product line introductions through maturity."
