Ever wondered which wines music stars drink backstage?
Musicians are famous for outlandish catering requests, and wine is very much part of the scene. Some artists aren’t too fussy: Iggy Pop and The Stooges, were reported to be happy with 2 bottles of red wine, preferably “something we’ve heard of but still can’t pronounce”.
Pharrell Williams is more specific: on one tour his rider was said to have included 15 magnums of Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque. It’s hard to top Diana Krall though, whose 2007 rider detailed a long, eclectic list of acceptable wines, from D’Arenberg Shiraz “The Laughing Magpie” to Ridge Zinfandel, Allegrini “La Grola” and Mulderbosch Sauvignon Blanc.
