Aussie songstress Kylie, 57, is quids after flogging more than 20 million bottles of her self-named tipple in just five years and she should be so lucky
Kylie Minogue has scored another UK number one – but with wine. The pop queen’s rosé is the Britain’s best-selling premium brand.
A bottle of her plonk is bought every six seconds somewhere in the world. Kylie, 57, is quids after flogging more than 20 million bottles of her self-named tipple in just five years.
But the I Should Be So Lucky singer admitted she was unsure at first whether to lend only her name to Kylie Minogue Wines (KMW).
She said: “It was of no interest to me to just throw a label on a bottle. It had to be authentic and I can proudly say that we have never veered from that.
“I was really keen to learn about a new industry and have been on a tasting voyage ever since.”
Kylie revealed she is so passionate about her prosecco she visited the winery in Italy where it is made.
She gushed: “I am just so proud of how far we have come in five years, not knowing how this would be taken or accepted within the wine industry and by consumers.
“We planted a seed that took and then it was all about making sure we could really get the roots in the ground – pardon the wine puns – and just nurture what we have.”
The Australian-born star remembered the moment in 2017 when she decided to move into wine.
She said: “There was a beautiful, soft amber light reflecting through the glass and I said out loud, ‘I’d love to have my own rosé one day.’
“Three years later, I did. I had no idea what I was entering into, I just knew it felt like a good fit.”
Kylie is currently on her Tension tour of the UK performing at The O2 in London so she is sticking to her alcohol-free version.
She added: “We’d be doing shows and one of my backing singers was breastfeeding, another had a youngster, others just don’t drink and so I really wanted KMW to include a 0% wine.”
