Like a vintner

What would it take to get you to spend $29 on a bottle of non-vintage Pinot Grigio. Or, eegad, $25 on “unwine”–dealcoholized wine?

CelebrityCellars is hoping that you will by sticking an image of pop star Madonna on the label. They also have two other reds for $25 and $40. Labels are influential in consumers buying decisions but do they make the whole decision?!? Apparently so.

As a vintner, this may not actually be her very first time. Her dad Silvio Ciccone, started Ciccone Vineyard & Winery in Northern Michigan, the area where she grew up, several years ago with her backing.

But are her new celebrity wines kosher?
