A new trend is becoming increasingly popular amongst celebrities: wine.
Fergie recently launched her Ferguson Crest brew from a Santa Barbara winery, while Drew Barrymore released her Barrymore Pinot Grigio from Italy. However, the most popular (and already successful) fresh sommeliers are the famous couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Brangelina has unveiled a rose called Miraval, originating in their French chateau. Within six hours of its launch, the wine sold more than 6,000 bottles online. According to a statement from Pitt, the two celebrities are “intimately involved” in their new project, which will feature a number of white libations as well.
When asked about Ferguson Crest, Fergie explained:
“My wines are about having a dream and making it come true. It’s something for a father and daughter to share together. It’s coming from the inside out. It’s not about having a huge business.” She added that her father “wanted to retire and move north and grow grapes. It was really special. And we thought, ‘Let’s not only bottle this for ourselves, let’s share it.’ I was always a big wine person. I learned that wines are about the smells and the experience as opposed to just chugging something to get drunk. It’s a social thing and a way for families to get together. It’s something I learned about and was excited about. Being a musician, wine and a good concert go hand-in-hand. Who doesn’t put on a nice record and have a nice bottle of wine?”
Drew Barrymore agrees, stating:
“I love wine, especially Pinot Girgio. It’s what I drink with my girlfriends. It feels so right when you’re sitting around a table having food and wine. I really wanted to start with a wine I was familiar with myself. I wanted it to be something that’s really from my family. That’s my grandfather’s crest on the label. I wanted to honor the tradition of family.”
