Gary Barlow has sparked ridicule from fans by announcing his hopes for another hit – this time by launching his very own wine.
The singer, 50, who boasts of a 30-year passion for wine, has revealed he hopes to appeal to the masses with his budget tipple, which will be available for just £8 in Morrisons supermarkets from Saturday.
Gary revealed he intends to appeal to the masses with crowd-pleasing wine from Spain, simply named Gary Barlow Organic, which is complete with a fitting piano key label.

Announcing the range, Barlow said: ‘After months of learning about the process and tasting different blends, I’m very proud to now launch my own range of organic wines from Spain.’
The red, made from tempranillo and syrah grapes, is described as having a ‘rich, smooth’ flavour ‘rendolent of bright, autumnal evenings with layers of damson, cocoa and rosemary’, finishing on ‘a bright note of fresh cranberries’.
Meanwhile, Barlow’s white – a blend of verdejo and viura grapes – is ‘overflowing with uplifting aromas of green apple and lime blossom’, along with lemon zest, pear and melon.

Another added: ‘Gary Barlow naming his wine company after himself is the most Gary Barlow thing you can do. This is from a man who once did a duet with himself.’
A third also posted: ‘Can’t believe Gary Barlow launched his own range of wine and didn’t call it Grape That.’

Of course Gary is not the first celebrity to delve into the world of wine-making, with pop star Kylie Minogue launching her own line of rosé in May 2020.
The range has been a huge hit, with the star expanding the range to include Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc wines earlier this year.
England cricket legend Ian Botham has also made millions through his own range of wines, which he first launched in 2001, and the sportsman has since branched out to release a line of gin.
