What does a celebrity who already has everything do?Buy a winery, of course.
We rounded up celebrity winemakers, some whom have invested in their own vineyard and others who have teamed up with an already established winery to create their own unique collection.
From AC/DC’s "Back in Black Shiraz" to Francis Ford Coppola’s Sophia rosé (named after his daughter), these are the best celebrity wines and winemakers.
Cheers.
