Cameron Diaz launches a 'vegan-friendly, organic' wine

Cameron Diaz is launching two new ‘clean’ wines that are both vegan-friendly and organic with no harsh chemical pesticides used to grow the grapes.

The Charlie’s Angels actress has come up with a white and rosé under the name Avaline with entrepreneur Katherine Power of Who What Wear and Versed Skincare fame.

‘I enjoyed wine for many-a-year and never questioned it… but I had no idea of the process… We soon learned it wasn’t what you added, it’s what you didn’t add,’ said the wife of Benji Madden.

The star met Katherine through her sister in law Nicole Richie and the friendship blossomed.

In April 2018 they began studying the wine world and questioned what went into their favorite beverage.

‘I actually figured it was the most responsible alcohol choice because it was made with fermented grapes. But I had no idea of the process. One of the first conversations Katherine and I had about making a cleaner wine was “what are we doing to add in?” we soon learned it wasn’t what you added, it’s what you didn’t add,”‘ said Diaz.

Diaz has given us some memorable roles over the years with films like The Mask and The Sweetest Thing.

But the four-time Golden Globe nominee and new mom has taken a break from acting getting married in 2015.

While she might be ready to grace the big screen once again in the near future, Diaz is being very particular about how she makes her return to acting.

The 47-year-old ‘is enjoying her time away from the action, and spending it with her husband and baby Raddix,’ a source told ET. 

The insider added: ‘Cameron worked consistently for almost 20 years and needed a break. 

‘Cameron loves being a mother and that is her main focus now. Cameron plans to be selective in any projects she considers for the future, but for now it’s all about family.’

She last starred alongside Jamie Foxx and Rose Byrne in the 2014 feature adaptation of Annie.

Diaz wrote in August for a personal essay in InStyle: ‘The way I look at it is that I’ve given more than half of my life to the public. 

‘I feel it’s OK for me to take time for myself now to reorganize and choose how I want to come [back] into the world. If I decide to. I don’t miss performing.’

She added: ‘Whatever I do, it has to be something I’m passionate about — something that just feels effortless.’

The Bad Teacher star has since welcomed her first child, a daughter named Raddix, in December with husband Benji Madden, whom she married in 2015.

She made her big screen debut in 1994 with The Mask, and she’s since starred in films like There’s Something About Mary, Vanilla Sky and The Other Woman.
