Christina Pickard, Wine Presenter

Big Shot Booze

Wine must be hot.  If it wasn’t the rich and famous wouldn’t want to try their hand at making it.  It seems like once a week I read another article about the latest celebrity to add the title ‘winemaker’ to their CV.  Drew Barrymore.  Antonio Banderas (ok I wrote that one).  Fergie.  To name a few.  It got me thinking, who are the celebrities I would most like to see make the good stuff?

Wouldn’t the wine world be a better place if Will Ferrell made a wine after his famous ‘Anchorman’ character Ron Burgundy?  It’d be a ‘classy’ Bourgogne of course:

Ron Burgundy’s Burgundy 

A darker side of me wants to see Justin Bieber maked a candy-coloured alcopop (in the UK of course where his 18 year old self can legally drink) just so we can make fun of him.  He’d call it:

Mother’s Milk

(in bad taste?!)

And finally, Tom Cruise is experienced in cocktails (and scientology, and craziness).  The next logical thing is to make wine right?  Something light-bodied and fruit me’thinks.  Something like a…

Beaujolais Cruise

His slogan would be:  ’Drink the Kool-aid –I mean– the wine’.
