Celebrities and Branded Alcohol

No, I’m not going to write about Lindsay’s latest bad choices or Paris’s latest drink of choice. But I will be writing a print article soon on celebrity-branded alcohol.

I tend to prefer the wine side of things, where celebrities such as Tool’s Maynard James Keenan get hands-on with the winemaking process (Caduceus/Merkin Winery). But there are also other products out there – like the Limoncello to which Danny DeVito so funnily lent his name.

As I gather information over the next month or so, I’ll also have to start sending away for press kits and making an attempt to schedule interviews with famous people. So, what celebrity-branded wines and liquor would you suggest I cover for the article?

Cheers, and happy 2008!
