Guzzling with the stars

Taste the hype, savor the fame adjacency.

From recent press releases about Dolly Parton’s new ‘Dolly Wines’ that were a seriously-missed naming opportunity, to Brangelina’s lucrative Provençal Rosé divorce adventures, to Jon Bon Jovi’s uh, Rosé, to Drew Barrymore’s, uh… other Rosé (wtf?) that’s made by “individually peeling the skin off the grapes” (seriously wtf?), or then all the other ‘famous’ rosés, celebrity wines are most seriously a thing.

If you’ve missed jumping through the window of the passing car that is fame by association, don’t worry! As Jay-Z showed with the Armand de Brignac “Ace of Spades” line, celebrity wines bring in some serious bankroll, so here are a few more headed your way. Get yourself ready to splash out on something a famous person has put their name on!

The Rock’s Shiraz

He body slammed us as a wrestler. He charmed us with his comedic side in “Central Intelligence”. He single-handedly saved the “Faster-er Furiouser-er” franchise.

A man of many talents, Dwayne Johnson’s success is all founded on having biceps the size of jet engines which is why he’s happy to introduce his South Australian Shiraz.

Brawny, peppery but with a unique down-home charm that’s irresistible. Each wine comes in a special, “rock bottle” weighing 5kg so that you can do your curls while drinking this blockbuster wine.

Dwayne is fully-involved in the winemaking, pressing all the grapes for the wines with his bare hands and reducing the use of pumps in the cellar via his sucking all wine through a pipe he made from palm trees.
