Brangelina Wine – What’s The Word

Celebrities usually don’t only have one gig – singers, actors, athletes crossover industries – and on their own or through collaboration might design clothing, develop perfume, or dabble in other industries mentioned. A new one? Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, or “Brangelina” have developed a wine that is getting surprisingly good reviews.

Power couple, Pitt and Jolie, have developed a rosé that hit British shop Marks and Spencer on April 11th. While other celebrities have created wines (George Clooney and Marilyn Manson to name two) this one is getting much more attention. Brangelina owns a french vineyard in the Provence region of France and have released the rosé through Marks and Spencer.

The wine, Miraval, is available for £18 at Marks and Spencer. While originally available last year this is the first time it’s available in supermarkets, with Marks and Spencer being the first. If you’re not located in London you may still have an opportunity to purchase the wine at one of Marks and Spencer’s international stores.
