Now you can buy Johnny Hallyday wine

Source: www.decanter.com. Posted on 01 February 2006.

Ageing French rocker Johnny Hallyday is to join the ever-growing group of celebrities with their names on bottles of wine.

The 62 year-old star is lending his name to a Coteaux du Languedoc wine, produced in the south of France. Around 50,000 bottles will be produced with a label proclaiming, 'wine discovered by Johnny Hallyday' ('vin découvert par Johnny Hallyday').

The wines will be distributed through Hallyday's own company, Hallyday Wines Diffusion. The bottles will hit French supermarket selves in March and will cost around EUR 10.
