In a world where fame knows no boundaries, it seems that celebrities are taking their star power to new heights – or rather, new spirits.
In recent years, the world of celebrity-endorsed or owned alcohol brands has exploded, offering consumers a taste of the glamorous lifestyles led by their favourite A-listers. From award-winning wines to artisanal liquors, these famous personalities have ventured into the world of libations – yet not all celeb-endorsed drinks are available in Australia.
