Quarantine Wine Sold By Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis Sells Out In Hours

Celebrities have been coming up with various ways to help out during the coronavirus pandemic and the way celebrity couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis have gone about it is by selling Quarantine Wine. And according to the couple, they sold all of it in a matter of hours.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kutcher and Kunis revealed the success of their charity wine during an interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” 

The couple said they did not expect the wine to be as successful as it was, intending only to raise a small amount of money. They bought 2,000 cases of wine to be sold, with the profits made to be given to a number of organizations providing help and assistance during the coronavirus pandemic.

Kunis said they were able to sell out all 2,000 cases of wine in the space of eight hours, with Kutcher adding that they were able to raise a million dollars. Kunis encouraged viewers to continue giving and assured them that their money would be going to “the right places.”

According to Kunis, the idea to sell wine for charity came about when she and Kutcher were on a virtual date night with their friends and their friends asked them about where they could donate to help out with COVID-19 relief.

Aside from talking about the success of their wine, Kutcher and Kunis also participated in the hilarious voice swap game, where the couple had to take turns playing ventriloquist dummies. As reported by USA Today, the couple did not hesitate to make fun of themselves during the game. Kutcher made up a detailed description of Kunis’s morning bowel movements, while Kunis revealed Kutcher’s supposed affinity for children’s music.

Kutcher and Kunis join the ranks of other celebrities who have worked to raise money to aid in the fight against COVID-19. For instance, Elton John has raised $8 million through his “Living Room Concert for America”, which had the First Responders Children’s Foundation and Feeding America as beneficiaries.

Angelina Jolie gave $1 million to the charity organization No Kid Hungry, which is helping feed 22 million schoolchildren in America now that the coronavirus pandemic has resulted in multiple school closures.

As things stand right now, celebrities might need to do even more charity work as confirmed COVID-19 cases around the world continue to rise. The May 5 update from the World Health Organization puts the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases at 3,517,345 people, with deaths caused by COVID-19 at 243,401 people.
