Meghan Markle recently launched American Riviera Orchard, initially focusing on artisanal jams and dog biscuits. However, speculation suggests these products might merely serve as a diversion from her true aim: entering the lucrative adult beverage market.

Former French First Lady Confronts Meghan Markle for Copying Her Rosé Wine: 'Nothing She Does Is Original'

Insiders hint that Meghan’s passion for wine, evident from her former lifestyle blog named after her favorite wine, Tignanello, could drive her newest venture. Reports from The Daily Mail indicate Meghan’s plans to unveil not just wine, but an array of hosting and entertaining products, including serveware and bar essentials. This move mirrors a current trend among celebrities launching their own alcoholic beverages.

The choice of rosé, rather than red wine, potentially holds sentimental significance. Rumor has it that rosé was Meghan’s drink of choice on her first date with Prince Harry, suggesting a personal connection that could become a marketing strategy imbued with romance.

Interestingly, some royal fans have drawn parallels between Meghan’s anticipated wine venture and that of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy. The former supermodel and singer-songwriter, who married former French president Nicolas Sarkozy, successfully launched her own rosé wine in March. Bruni-Sarkozy’s established presence in the wine industry underscores the time and dedication required to create a distinctive product.

Critics speculate whether Meghan has the patience and commitment to develop a unique wine brand from scratch or if she may opt for a quicker route by rebranding an existing product. Unlike Bruni-Sarkozy, who leveraged her career and public image, Meghan faces skepticism and scrutiny at every turn, raising questions about her ability to carve out a niche in the competitive wine market.

While Meghan’s initial foray with jams and dog biscuits has not made a significant impact, her potential pivot to wine could be a strategic move to establish herself in a more sophisticated and lucrative market. Yet, skeptics argue that Meghan’s venture may be more about maintaining a public presence than genuine entrepreneurial passion.

The success of Meghan’s wine brand, if launched, will hinge on the product’s quality and Meghan’s ability to connect with consumers. Regardless, her entry into the wine market promises to generate substantial media attention and public interest, underscoring her ongoing influence in both cultural and commercial spheres.
