Drink Like An A-Lister: 18 Alcohol Brands Owned By Celebrities

Della Vite, The Delevingne Sisters

The famous fashionista sisters Poppy, Cara and Chloe Delevingne have crafted a Prosecco brand that’s fit for any work-do, after party or social gathering. 

The three sisters brought us exciting news back in September 2020 that they would be launching two high-quality Proseccos at affordable prices. Made with sharing the love – whether together or apart – Della Vite is a vegan and sustainably made Prosecco, and was made in collaboration with a third-generation wine-making family at a winery in the Valdobbiadene valley in north-eastern Italy.

Wines by Kylie Minogue

One wine you won’t be able to get out of your head is created by none other than pop icon Kylie Minogue. She’s been topping the charts since 1987 but in 2020 she took a step back and entered the wine world. Partnering up with London-based distributor Benchmark Drinks and with multiple awards already under its belt, in just three years the brand has added eight wines to its portfolio – and each is just as refined as the next. 

Browse the shop and order a bottle of your favourite variety, from Chardonnay to their popular Cru Classé Côtes de Provence Rosé.

Porte Noire, Idris Elba 

More recently known for his gritty role in the British psychological crime drama series, Luther, Idris Elba should also be noted for his new prestigious wine brand, Porte Noire. 

Yep, Idris is another celebrity making a name for themselves in the alcoholic beverage industry, with him recently launching Porte Noire. Sailing in from the vineyard of the Sanger school in Grand Cru Avize, Idris has launched a Champagne and rosé. He said that it was the story of the winery that he fell in love with. He commented, “I wanted to put together a special collection of wines with stories I think need to be told. I’ve always understood the importance of story and these additions to Porte Noire are great conversation starters.”

For the Porte Noire Champagne, he wanted to keep the spirit of the school at the forefront, making sure it’s of the highest quality and crafted in the traditional way, by the hard-working hands of France’s future Champagne masters. Meanwhile, the Porte Noire Rose is a delicate blend of Grenache and Cinsault from Chateau Sainte Marguerite, a family-owned vineyard from La Londe Les Maures.

Casamigos, George Clooney

When you think of celebrity-owned brands, one that immediately floods to mind is George Clooney and his Casamigos endeavour. 

Born out of a love of tequila, longtime friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman fused this passion together to create the best-tasting, smoothest Tequila and Mezcal that didn’t need to be swirled down with a pinch of salt or wedge of lime. But it was a drink that they never intended to release to the public.

818 Tequila 

When she’s not modelling, recording for the latest season of The Kardashians or cutting cucumber awkwardly, Kendall Jenner is creating new flavours for her tequila brand. 

Working closely with family-owned farms in Jalisco, Mexico, 818 Tequila uses the finest ingredients to create a shared drink to remember. As well as keeping things local, they are dedicated to sustainability, from the agave they grow through to the production of their bottle. 

Right now they have three different varieties: blanco, reposado and añejo, depending on your preference.

Próspero Tequila, Rita Ora

Continuing on the tequila front, Rita Ora has also been making a name for herself in the spirit world. Back in 2019, Rita joined forces with Conecuh Brands to launch her now widely available and easy to drink, Próspero Tequila.

Haig Club, David Beckham 

David Beckham isn’t just the face of the advertising campaign for Haig Club, he’s also a brand partner. 

Having always been a fan of the brand, David became a partner in the company and since has refreshed his image and the brand’s image in tow. Haig Club today, prides itself on its Single Grain Scotch Whisky which is full of flavour, style and character. It’s notable for its iconic blue bottles, but also its heritage and flavour. 

Aviation American Gin, Ryan Reynolds

With a quirky and humorous marketing campaign, Aviation American Gin is co-owned by the face of it all, Ryan Reynolds. 

Aviation American Gin has carefully thought out its advertising strategy, understanding that using Ryan Reynolds as the face of the gin is the right way forward. It’s his slightly smug nature that’s enticing and leaves you wanting to try ‘hands down, the best’ gin on the planet. 

The gin itself is distilled using a proprietary maceration recipe that produces an array of botanical flavours, from the infusion process using cardamom, coriander, French lavender, anise seed, sarsaparilla, juniper and orange peel, to distillation.

Heaven’s Door, Bob Dylan 

Moving onto whiskey, Heaven’s Door is an award-winning collection of handcrafted American whiskeys that have been developed in partnership with Bob Dylan. From the distinct taste through to the design which is based on his welded iron gates in his studio, Black Buffalo Ironworks, Bob Dylan has helped to craft a whiskey that’ll make you feel like a rockstar. 

Having launched in April 2018, the brand has since grown in strength and association with Dylan, keeping to his core values and views of creating a good ol’ tipple. In 2019, The Bootleg Series was launched, named after his famous ‘Bootleg Series’ of albums. Try out the 2020 edition for yourself, a 15-year-old straight bourbon whiskey finished in Jamaican pot still rum casks.

Avaline Wine, Cameron Diaz

The now-retired actress, Cameron Diaz is also another celebrity who has ventured into the wine world, creating Avaline, a clean and delicious alternative to your typical calorie-heavy dinner party tipple. 

Diaz has joined forces with fashion CEO Katherine Power to create this organic and health-conscious wine brand. Each wine is from a different region; the sparkling wine is from one of the oldest wineries in the world, Raventós i Blanc, while the white is from a family-owned winery, Can Ràfols dels Caus, and the rosé is from Mas de Cadenet in the Provence region. Each of these wineries has been chosen carefully for its sustainability approach to winemaking. 

Although it’s currently not available in the UK, we’re certain it’s only a short amount of time before it’ll become readily available as a drink of choice at your dinner party. 

Ten to One Rum, Ciara 

Grounded in Caribbean culture and heritage, Ten to One Rum was set up by rum lover Marc Farrell. Back in 2021, American singer-songwriter Ciara took to the company, investing and becoming co-owner of the Caribbean-influenced spirit. 

Currently, there are two rums in the portfolio. The Dark Rum is a blend of eight-year-old Barbados and Dominican column still rums, that’s then combined with high-ester Jamaican pot still rum and Trinidadian rum. The result is an almost spiced, woody finish with notes of banana peel, baking spice, yellow apple, tobacco, cedar, nut loaf and leather. While their White Rum is a smoother spirit, with notes of jasmine, honeysuckle, white pepper and lemongrass. 

Teremana Tequila, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson 

Is there anything this man can’t and hasn’t done? Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, also has his own tequila empire. Crafted in a small Mexican town, at the top of the peaks of the Jalisco Highland mountains, Teremana Tequila is bright, fragrant and aspires to honour the land in which it came from.

Maison No. 9, Post Malone 

Known for songwriting, rapping and edgy face tattoos, Austin Richard Post, known more widely as Post Malone, is also the man behind Maison No.9, a rosé wine brand. 

With rosé being described by Post Malone himself as “rosé is for when you want to get a little fancy,” that’s exactly what you can expect from the French Riviera Rosé. It’s as Post Malone puts it simply: crisp, refreshing and very smooth. The first batch of 50,000 bottles sold out in as little as 48 hours so it’s certainly in high demand but worth trying to get your hands on a bottle to see how the A-lister enjoys his tipples. 

Virginia Black, Drake 

Produced in collaboration with DeLeon Tequila founder Brent Hocking, Drake launched his alcohol venture in 2016 with Virginia Black Whiskey. It’s noted for its rich flavour while still being smooth on the palette.
