From beauty and fashion to food and tech, celebrities have long been lending their names to a brand. But while many star-backed ventures feel more like marketing exercises than meaningful contributions, celebrity wine labels have often emerged as one of the success stories, bringing genuine quality, expertise and innovation to the industry.
