7. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
Dwayne Johnson’s Teremana Tequilla officially launched in March and he spent years working on a high-quality, hand-crafted tequila.
“TERA means of the earth and MANA is our powerful Polynesian spirit that guides us. Spirit of the earth,” The Rock wrote.
“After years of hard work, this blessing is truly a dream come true—but it’s just the beginning and there’s much work to be done,” he continued. “I’m committed with my team to bring you the best tequila because quality and legacy are what matter most.”
At the moment, it comes in Blanco and Reposado varieties, and a 750ml bottle retails for around $30.
8. Kyle MacLachlan
Actor Kyle MacLachlan best known for his role as special agent Dale Cooper in “Twin Peaks,” went from being a famous actor to creating his own Pacific-Northwest winery Pursued by Bear.
“I wanted a name that had some sort of acting reference,” MacLachlan says, “and pursued by a bear is both the most specific and most unusual stage direction in all of Shakespeare’s canon.”
He creates fancy wines for those who have expensive taste. His $70 bottle of wine has been well-reviewed by industry publications for years and years now.
MacLachlan describes his Pursued By Bear wine like this: “It’s always been fairly consistent, with Cabernet Sauvignon as the dominant grape. My first and foremost love right now is Cabernet. I just love the Cabernet mouth feel. We originally blended in Syrah, but now I’m going with Merlot, and I plan to bring in some Cabernet Franc as well, just to see what it does.”
9. Ryan Reynolds
“About a year ago, I tried Aviation for the first time. Since that day, I’ve spent my time finding some way to infiltrate the company,” said Reynolds. “I did this for one simple reason: It’s the best damn gin on the planet.”
You might have seen the actor’s face on ads for the Aviation Gin as it is very popular in the United States. But he’s not just a spokesperson for the company, he’s also the owner. Ryan Reynolds purchased boutique gin-producer Aviation Gin in 2018.
“I’ve tried every gin on the planet and Aviation is hands down, the best. Also, I don’t recommend trying every gin on the planet. Stick with this one.”
According to Fortune, he appears to be more involved in the business side of the company rather than the distilling side, but one thing is true, he was interested in this company because he was a huge fan of the gin itself.
“Ryan has worked tirelessly to create some of the world’s most iconic media properties and will bring that drive and creativity to sharing Aviation with the world,” said Andrew T. Chrisomalis, CEO of Davos Brands.
