Is it just me

or does every celebrity and their dog have a wine or liquor to hawk. At this point it is just embarrasing. Kendal Jenner has a tequila ,J lo ,which is even more cringey since Ben Affleck is a recovering alcoholic. I know eveyone needs to make money , but they are just slapping their name on it for a cash grab. I see the blue jean chef just presented one. Like i said maybe it is just me.

Many probably take their lines seriously while others just slap their names on products.

Like pretty much everything else, follow the money. Wine and spirits is a HUGE industry in this country (others too).

Didn't that start after George Clooney sold his alcohol biz for a billion or something?

Why do folks think these are not legitimate businessman, just because they are actors?

Casamigos Tequila started as an idea between George Clooney and friend Rande Gerber while they were in Mexico. Just sold for $1Billion dollars.

As a businessman, Ryan Reynolds holds an ownership stake in Mint Mobile. On March 15, 2023, T-Mobile announced it was acquiring Ka’ena Corporation, parent company of Mint Mobile, Ultra Mobile, and Plum, in a deal valued at up to $1.35 billion.

Reynolds is a co-owner (alongside Rob McElhenney) of the Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC; In 2020, Reynolds sold his ownership stake of Aviation Gin to Diageo for $610 million.

Not sure about the wine, but I did notice last year that every QVC vendor and their cousin had "throws." Seriously, Berkshire Blanket, Dennis Basso, Life is Good, Barefoot Dreams, Kringle Express, Northern Nights...I know I'm missing some. Let's see what happens this year.

Basso has had throws for 25 years, Berkshire MAKES the blankets, Barefoot Dreams throws are the same material as their sweaters, Northern Nights MAKES blankets.

All these folks have been making throws and blankets for years and years I see nothing exceptional about that. It makes perfect sense that they would have throws.
