New research has revealed the best value celebrity alcohol brands, with a swag of Australian and New Zealand creations in the mix.
Conducted by money.co.uk, the research analysed the average cost of 85 wines and spirits backed by famous faces and compared that with their star ratings on critic websites Vivino.com (for wine) and Distiller.com (for spirits) to discover which celebrity alcohol brands are the best bang for your buck.
The methodology revealed that Porte Noire Rosé Wine, by Luther star Idris Elba, is the best value celebrity wine on the market. Scoring 85 out of 100 thanks to the average cost of $38 a bottle and with a 4.4 out of 5 stars rating, this award-winning vegan tipple has earned its place at the top.

The second best value on the wine list goes to Invivo X Sauvignon Blanc by Sex and The City icon Sarah Jessica Parker; scoring 83.5 out of a possible 100 thanks to a 4.1 rating and an average cost of $22 a bottle. Not only is this New Zealand number great on the tastebuds, but the bottle looks great on the kitchen counter thanks to its label being hand-designed and signed with an ‘X’ by SJP herself.

Closely following the bottle of white wine is a creation by American rapper Post Malone; called Maison No. 9 Rosé it scored 82.5 out of 100 making it the third-best value wine owned by an A-lister. Post Malone has said the reason he wanted to create an affordable rosé (average cost of $23) is that it’s the drink “for when you want to get a little fancy.” Cheers to that!

Jon Bon Jovi’s Hampton Water Rosé and Mary J Blige’s Sun Goddess Pinot Grigio Ramato Friuli are in joint fourth position, and rounding off the top five best value wines is Graham Norton’s Own Sauvignon Blanc with a score of 82 out of 100 on the best value index.
