Celebrity chef questions Meghan Markle’s new wine value in scathing attack

Meghan Markle launched new wine Rosé under her lifestyle brand As Ever and it was quickly sold out, however, it has still failed to woo a celebrity chef.

Celebrity chef Jameson Stocks criticized the wine for being too exclusive and said that the high price and three-bottle minimum made it unappealing to a wider audience.

He even joked that the wine might “taste like vinegar and be as bitter as her,” and admitted the price wasn’t shocking, while speaking with The Express.

“Nobody knows what it tastes like,” he said before adding that why would people want to “buy three bottles minimum.”

The wine could “taste like vinegar and be as bitter as her," he quipped.

“It’s similar to her other products, it’s not meant to be affordable for the general public but rather caters to a more exclusive market," the expert continued.

“Having worked extensively in South Africa, a region known for producing some of the world’s finest wines, I’m confident that you can create top-quality wine at a fraction of the price she’s charging and still make a decent enough mark up per bottle.

"I collaborate regularly with vineyards and growers there, and I’m currently producing my own wine in South Africa for next year.”
