Rod Stewart stuns fans with surprising news
Rod Stewart, a renowned rock and roll icon, has ventured into the world of spirits with his own whisky brand, Wolfie’s. This unexpected business venture has turned into a significant success for the 80-year-old star. Last year, Stewart joyfully announced that Wolfie’s was hitting the shelves of 400 Tesco supermarkets all across the United Kingdom, marking a milestone for the brand. However, just recently, Rod Stewart shared another exciting development regarding his whisky label.
In a recent video, Stewart delightedly revealed that Wolfie’s was about to make a debut in the Netherlands. In a light-hearted attempt at speaking Dutch, he humorously acknowledged his British roots before introducing himself in the foreign language. “This is Rod Stewart, the well-known rock singer. And this is my whisky, which goes on sale here in the Netherlands at Gall and Gall,” he expressed with enthusiasm.
The brand took to social media to share the news, stating, “Wolfie’s by rock legend Rod Stewart is now available at Gall & Gall! And who better to promote that than Sir Rod himself?” Fans of the rock star and whisky enthusiasts were thrilled by the announcement. One supporter commented, “The best promotion of a whisky,” while another expressed, “Lovely smooth whisky, I cracked my bottle to welcome my new grandson,” showcasing the sentimental value of the product. Another fan humorously added, “If you sing, I’ll buy a lot!” Many followers also expressed their hopes that the brand would soon expand its reach to their respective countries.
Rod Stewart’s creation of Wolfie’s holds a deep connection to his Scottish heritage. In an interview with the Scottish Daily Mail back in 2023, Stewart disclosed, “I don’t have my photo on the bottle as I didn’t want it rammed down people’s throats that this is Rod’s whisky, just in case they’re like, ‘I hate his [expletive] music. I’m not drinking that’.” He further emphasized his preference for Scotch whisky over other varieties due to his familial ties to Scotland and his admiration for Celtic traditions. For Stewart, launching Wolfie’s was a natural choice given his background and personal passion for the country.
Since its inception in June 2023, Wolfie’s whisky has garnered acclaim and consumer interest. Stewart’s official announcement in May 2023 marked the beginning of his foray into the spirits industry, following nearly two years of development and multiple whisky tastings. Rod proudly introduced his brand, stating, “After almost two years of development, and dozens of whisky tastings, I’m delighted to finally unveil my latest venture, Wolfie’s Whisky! Make sure you sign up to get your hands on a bottle first… Slàinte!”
While fans eagerly awaited the launch of Wolfie’s, it was Rod Stewart’s wife, Penny Lancaster, who had the most heartwarming reaction to the news. Penny expressed her support for her husband’s venture by sharing festive stickers on her Instagram Stories, showcasing her excitement and love for the project.
In conclusion, Rod Stewart’s journey into the world of whisky with Wolfie’s has been a testament to his creative versatility and personal connection to his heritage. As the brand continues to expand its reach and captivate fans worldwide, Stewart’s passion for his Scottish roots remains at the heart of this spirited endeavor.
