Posted by E-40 has been teaching fans about the hustle for over 30 years, and the Bay Area legend isn’t slowing down. Nearly nine years after bringing his Earl Stevens Selections wine brand to the masses, 40 Water is expanding with two brand new flavors, blueberry and orange.
Over time, 40’s wine and liquors have grown to become one of the premiere celebrity wine brands and made the In A Major Way rapper one of the pre-eminent celebrity wine enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. Since 2020, Earl Stevens Selections has released flavors such as Cotton Candy, Cali-Mocho Red Wine and Cola, Watermelon, Mango Peach, and a Prosecco DOC and Prosecco Rose DOC.
40 has kept Earl Stevens Selections going since 2013, but the brand’s popularity exploded in recent years after he shouted out the wine brand during his 2020 Verzuz celebration with Too $hort. His actions throughout the night proved its potency, providing viral tweets and an instant demand on social media, which has lasted for more than a year.
