Sip or Skip: Hollywood's Rosé Rundown from Angelina to Cameron

FEMAIL tried multiple celebrity rosé brands to see how they all stacked up against each other

Celebrity Rosé Showdown: Which A-Lister's Wine Reigns Supreme?

In a world where everyone's a celebrity, it seems like every star has a side hustle - and many of them start in a vineyard! From Meghan Markle's As Ever rosé to John Legend's LVE wine, we've got the scoop on which A-lister's drink reigns supreme.

The Bottom of the Barrel: John Legend's LVE

John Legend's LVE (Legend Vineyard Exclusive) hit shelves in 2015, and sadly, it's a total dud. The $25 rosé is described as having "light notes of fresh picked strawberry and white nectarine" - but trust us, it tastes more like rubbing alcohol than a nice glass of wine. Our team was left with a burning sensation after just one sip (pun intended). Who knew Mr. Legend thought he was too good for rosé? The packaging is unassuming, the label small and easy to miss. If you're looking for a drink that'll leave you feeling like a "Wake Up" singer, this ain't it.

Bethenny Frankel's Forever Young: A Flop

The Skinnygirl mogul, Bethenny Frankel, partnered with Château Roubin to bring us Forever Young Rosé - and what a letdown. This $22.99 rosé is described as "balanced and juicy" but our team detected notes of boxed wine gone stale and hangover-inducing acidity. The floral explosion on the label didn't translate to the taste, sadly. If you have the coin to spare (and we wouldn't recommend it), there are far better wines out there.

In 2015, singer John Legend launched his own line of wines with Raymond Vineyards, a vineyard in Napa Valley, California. According to his website, it was a 'dream long in the making'

Snoop Dogg's 19 Crimes: A Sweet But Sour Experience

Snoop Dogg's got a line of wines with Australian brand 19 Crimes, and his $15 rosé is surprisingly... sweet. Like, syrupy sweet. Imagine a slightly fermented mixed-berry juice made with artificial berries that have been sitting in pure sugar - that's what this wine tastes like. Our team member who tried it thought it was "one of the worst rosé wines" they'd ever had. While it's an easy drink to down, we wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking for a sophisticated sipping experience.

Kylie Minogue's Cotes De Provence Rosé: A Bitter Pill

Kylie Minogue's signature rosé collection has been a hit, with over 20 million bottles sold worldwide. But our team wasn't impressed. The $19.99 rosé is described as having "delicate, alluring aromas of fresh summer berries and white blossom" - but what we got was a bitter, sour taste that left us straining our faces after each sip. It's like drinking a glass from an airplane - some notes of strawberry and melon, but sadly overshadowed by the knowledge that you're likely to end up with a hangover if you drink too much.

Meghan Markle's As Ever Rosé: A Work Happy Hour Special

Meghan Markle's As Ever rosé is the perfect wine for a work happy hour - it's affordable and ordinary. Our team disagreed on this one, with some of us thinking it was smooth and pleasant, while others found it bland and acidic. It's not good, but it's not terrible either. If it was served at a party, we'd still drink it.

We thought the wine itself didn¿t taste like much going down, and to be fair, it was quite smooth. But it left our throats burning

Brad Pitt's Miraval: A Dry and Sophisticated Sip

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt co-founded Miraval Rosé back in 2013 - and even after their divorce, the wine remained a hit. The $25 rosé is dry and crisp, with hints of citrus and a similar aftertaste to a Sauvignon Blanc. It's like sipping high-end restaurant wine or something served at a wedding. This one's worth the price tag.

Jon Bon Jovi's Hampton Water: A Crowd-Pleaser

Hampton Water Rosé is Jon Bon Jovi's baby, and we're fans of this $25 wine. The label is sleek, the bottle tall and chic - it's easy to pick up and pour. The rosé itself is sweet enough with hints of citrus and berries, and a dry aftertaste that'll leave you wanting more. It's a go-to wine for almost any occasion.

Cameron Diaz's Avaline: The Queen of Rosés

Avaline Rosé is Cameron Diaz's baby, and we're obsessed. This $24 rosé is light and fresh, with notes of melon and zest - it's like sipping on a hot July evening. It's organic, dry, and super smooth. We didn't have high hopes, but this wine exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a drink that'll leave you feeling like a superstar, look no further than Avaline.

FEMAIL was instantly drawn to Snoop Dogg's label and somewhat moved by his decision not to shy away from the fact that this is his wine - he put a massive photo of his face on it
