– Newest still wines are the second line of Bellissima products, which includes five Prosecco and Sparkling Wines that are certified vegan and made with organic grapes
AMITYVILLE, NY, March 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire – Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: ICNB) (“Iconic” or the “Company”), a leader in the development, design and delivery of alcohol and non-alcohol beverages, announced today that it has launched Bellissima Zero, a new line of zero sugar still wines created by Bellissima Prosecco and co-developed by Bellissima brand partner, supermodel, actress and entrepreneur, Christie Brinkley.
Bellissima Zero is available in five expressions: Pinot Grigio IGT, Chardonnay IGT, Rosé Wine, Merlot IGT and Cabernet Sauvignon IGT. Bellissima Zero has zero sugar, a serving size of approximately 1g Carb per 5 oz, is made with organic grapes and is certified vegan. Bellissima’s Zero is boutique winery quality, with no residual sugar and no compromises on taste. We believe that Bellissima Zero will live up to the expectations of the most demanding wine connoisseurs, offering all the essence of its terroir.
Bellissima’s brand partner and spokeswoman Christie Brinkley, who has appeared on over 500 magazine covers worldwide, served as a spokeswoman for CoverGirl and performed on Broadway, on television and in film, stated, “I am incredibly proud to introduce Bellissima Zero sugar still wines. We have worked tirelessly to create a delicious line of premium quality still wines that provide a delicious taste and a unique experience, and continue our vision of providing healthier choices for our customers. I believe Bellissima Zero is a perfect blend of flavor, appearance and sustainability at an ideal price.”
“Launching Bellissima Zero is a major milestone for us. We believe that Bellissima Zero will help us capture a larger share of growing trends that we are seeing in the alcohol industry, with a push for Keto options, ‘Better-For-You’ options and health and wellness options, in addition to sustainability and unique branding with a story that consumers can connect to,” said Iconic Chief Executive Officer, Larry Romer. “We are thankful for Christie’s contributions and we plan to support her as she helps grow this new brand as she has done with our other Bellissima lines.”
The new line of Bellissima Zero still wines adds to Bellissima’s growing portfolio of BFY and “better-for-the-planet” products that provide sustainable choices and align with consumers’ health and wellness lifestyle choices. Bellissima’s current line of Prosecco and Sparkling Wines are made with organic grapes, are certified vegan and are available online and in wine and spirits retail stores across the country. They include Bellissima Prosecco DOC Brut, Sparkling Rosé Brut Wine, Zero Sugar Sparkling White Wine, Zero Sugar Sparkling Rosé Wine and Prosecco Rosé DOC Millesimato. The offerings also include Bellissima Bambinis, which are 375 ml bottles in most of the same expressions as the 750 ml bottles.
Bellissima is a staple in the quickly growing BFY category and we expect the newest line of zero sugar still wines to provide important growth opportunity for the Company. We believe Bellissima Zero can attract new consumers and appeal to existing consumers with its distinct offerings and bold flavors. This product launch is an important step in Iconic’s growth strategy and broadens its portfolio to serve a wider spectrum of consumers and occasions.
Bellissima Zero still wines are available for purchase at wine and spirits retail stores across the U.S. and available on a waitlist online at https://www.splashwines.com/pages/bellissima

AMITYVILLE, NY, Jan. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Iconic Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: ICNB) (“Iconic” or the “Company”), together with its wholly owned subsidiary TopPop LLC (“TopPop”), which establishes and supports brands, innovates, produces, licenses, packages and sells alcohol and non-alcohol beverages and creates sustainable packaging solutions for the consumable goods market, announced it has generated significant year-over-year revenue growth of Bellissima Prosecco and Sparkling Wines by Christie Brinkley in the New York metro area. The company has reported a 73% increase in volume and a 250% increase in its distribution channels, a result of the expertise and the relationships of its sales and management team.

BFY and healthy lifestyle alcohol choice is a growing trend, as you can see from many large brands offering healthier alternatives with less carbs, less sugar, less calories. For example, look at the success of Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. with their recent IPO to the NYSE American. They have positioned themselves in the better-for-you segment, which we see as a benefit as more consumers continue to gravitate toward this area looking for options. This is a segment that Iconic has been succeeding in for many years now, since we launched in late 2015. Bellissima’s brand partner and spokeswoman Christie Brinkley continues to do an excellent job promoting the brand, and we are excited to see the traction from our retail and online sales. Our management team’s experience in the adult beverage market is well over 100 years with industry stalwarts like Anheuser-Busch (AB) and Southern Glazer Wine & Spirits in New York to name a few, and a dedicated sales team has helped us to propel the brand. ‘Health,’ ‘sustainability,’ ‘clean’ and ‘organic’ are not just buzzwords but core values of our Bellissima brand and our brand ambassador. We continue to look at opportunities to grow the brand and are pleased to note that we are on schedule to launch a new line of zero sugar still wines in Q1 of 2022 and believe that they will be a big contributor for revenue going forward.”

Management Commentary
“During the third quarter, we transitioned from a beverage and lifestyle branding company with a diverse portfolio of premium wines and spirits, into a fast-growing, vertically-integrated alcohol products company. We strengthened our leadership team to include executives with expertise in the beverage and consumer products sector. We successfully raised $40 million to further the expansion of our brands, increased inventory to accommodate demand and increased marketing and other areas. Most notably, during the third quarter, we completed our acquisition of TopPop and brought over several members of the TopPop management team and staff. We are in the process of blending the companies synergistically and using the successful ingredients and values from both companies. TopPop clients include many Fortune 500 and multinational companies and some of the largest brands in the alcohol industry, and specializes in single-use flexible packaging applications in the food, beverage, and health categories including ready-to-freeze (“RTF”) ice pops. RTF is a growing sector in the alcohol beverage industry and since the acquisition of TopPop, we have started expanding our machine and facility capabilities to meet growing demand. TopPop manufactured approximately 36 million ice pops this year to-date, which is up significantly over the 10 million it manufactured in all of 2020. The global alcoholic beverages market reached a value of $1.58 trillion in 2020, according to Research and Markets, and we believe we are well-positioned to continue our growth trajectory,” said Chief Executive Officer Larry Romer.
He continued, “We beat our revenue goals and we believe that we delivered our strongest quarter ever. Quarter-over-quarter revenue growth was 386% and almost 300% year-over-year. In addition to our acquisition of TopPop, the capital raise and our new leadership, we also launched Sonja Sangria by Sonja Morgan, which we believe will be a positive addition to our brand portfolio. Bellissima has been a stable of Iconic and has had success in the health and wellness side of alcohol branding. Building brands that are “Better-for-You and Better-for-the-Planet” is a focus of Iconic’s. Looking ahead, we have a new line of Bellissima Zero Sugar still wines in five different expressions, which we expect to launch in the coming months. We are rebranding and repositioning our Bella Aperitifs and are strategizing new product developments for the Company and for third parties, especially in the RTF space. We plan to continue to grow our current brands, add new lines and look for new opportunities. We had a fantastic third quarter and we look forward to incorporating our acquired businesses and to our future growth opportunities. We believe that Iconic has substantial growth potential and we are constantly looking at ways to enhance shareholder value. We believe that we have a solid foundation for the future and intend to pursue an up-listing of our shares to a national exchange in the first half of 2022.”
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Iconic generated revenue of $2,846,437, compared to revenue of $712,198 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $2,134,239 or approximately 300%. This increase of $2,134,239 was due primarily to a $2,045,000 increase in sales from newly acquired TopPop, as well as a $89,000 increase in sales of alcohol-related products.
The Company had a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021, of $3,657,565, as compared to net loss of $1,219,101 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $469,000 and expenses associated with the financing and acquisition of TopPop of approximately $2,000,000.
Regarding results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we generated revenue of $4,065,884, as compared to revenue of $2,173,684 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $1,892,200 or approximately 87%. The increase of $1,892,200 was due primarily to a $2,045,000 increase in sales from newly acquired TopPop, offset by a decrease of $152,800 in sales of our alcohol-related products.
The Company had a net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $6,000,537, compared to a net loss of $2,608,729 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Operating expenses were $4,040,691 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1,080,336 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $2,960,355 or approximately 267%. Net operating (loss) was ($3,345,342) for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to ($637,901) for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $2,707,441 or approximately 424%.
Cost of sales was $2,151,088, or approximately 75% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and $269,763, or approximately 38% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Cost of sales included the cost of the products purchased from the Company’s suppliers, freight-in costs and import duties. The significant increase in cost of goods as a percentage of sales, year-over-year, was due to the change in product mix in 2021 as a result of the TopPop acquisition. Cost of goods for the three months ended September 30, 2021 for our alcohol sales were approximately 38%, which is similar to the prior year, while the costs associated with the TopPop acquisition were approximately 95% during the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to significant labor costs and write down of perishable items as the summer production season wound down. The historical cost of goods for TopPop is approximately 65% and the Company expects to achieve that margin in future quarters.
