There's a few artists going down this route. Pretty sure I read in the paper that even Dan Ackroyd has his own booze. Much like his last acting role, I can't recall exactly what it was.

It's vodka that comes in a glass skull. I'm not much of a vodka drinker, but I rather liked it. I've got another bottle that I've not opened yet.

The skull is now sitting in my kitchen, full of jelly beans.

Alas, I could not find any pictures of a bottle full of jelly beans. You'll have to settle for this:

I don't know. I've repressed my memories of it. As far as I'm concerned, The Last Crusade was the last movie.

Motorhead Vodka taste like any other swedish produced Vodka.. a bit expensive since you find Absolut Vodka in the same price range..

Motorhead Shiraz.. I have tried better and far worse Shiraz wines in my days.. a good wine to get wasted on..

Bought 8 bottles today :D I guess Easter will be a bit hazy.. :D :D

It's the most rock and roll of wines.

Motörhead vodka? Makes sense to me. Motörhead Bourbon? That too would make sense? Motörhead gin? Sure; they're an English rock band (though I don't imagine them being gin drinkers), and I tend to associate gin with the UK. Motörhead beer? Yeah, I can see it. Motörhead pure grain alcohol? Makes perfect sense.

But wine? A little odd.

Rosé and gin are seen as more women's drinks here in the UK, to the point where a common slang term for gin is "mothers' ruin".

Not that that necessarily disqualifies either from having a Motörhead-badged version, just that it doesn't seem quite to fit with the band's "macho" image. YMMV

Interesting. Here, gin is associated with old men, to the point where an ex girlfriend accused me of being old before my time since I liked to order gin and tonics when sitting outside on a hot day.

But would love to have a bottle just to place nicely in my vitrine 8)
