Gary Barlow's "most expensive" wine was a gift from King Charles

Speaking to Jessie and Lennie Ware on their 'Table Manners' podcast, Gary said: "Most of my cellar is actually wine that people have bought for me. It's got to the point where I write on the side who it's from.

"I think the most expensive bottle of wine I own is a Pauillac. And I do believe, I'm gonna name drop, I'm afraid.

"The King gave it me. Around the Diamond Jubilee."

"I organised the concert for that. So he, yeah, I got it sort of a couple of days later with a little telegram and yeah I haven't touched that. It's actually not even in the cellar that it's upstairs in the house"

The 53-year-old singer launched his own wine range three years ago and he's amazed at how successful the brand has been as it was initially conceived to be a small run of product that he could give to friends as gifts.

He said: "So basically, it's complete accident, this whole thing, because we're in lockdown, and I've been talking to my manager, said you know what, you know how long I've been into wine, I love it, I love it, wouldn't it be great if I had a bottle with my name on the side?

"And I was thinking like 50, 70 bottles a year. Giving it out to your mates at Christmas, a couple of dinner parties.

"I cannot tell you how much wine has gone out in the supermarkets. We have sold so much wine.

"And it's cheap, and it's good, I know where it's from, I know the people who make it. I've learnt a lot. It's been a brilliant journey."
