Meghan Markle's new Rosé gets roasted in brutal taste test by an influencer: 'Not worth...'
When Kris Jenner flexes your product on Instagram, you know you are in the Hollywood big leagues. This summer, Meghan Markle sent the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch a crate of her new rosé, worth $90 for three bottles. Kris was quick to thank Meghan on her Stories, while Khloé Kardashian also reposted the gift – prompting Meghan herself to chime in with a cheeky 'Hey, hey all my girls with a K.' Meghan Markle sends Kris Jenner a crate of Rosé The wine is part of Meghan's lifestyle brand, which sold out in minutes during its initial April launch, though later reports suggested sales cooled down. Enter stage left: a YouTuber ready to spill the wine tea. The savage review begins Influencer Just Plain Zack unboxed Meghan's rosé with a raised eyebrow. He threw shade at the packaging, joking that the tissue paper and sticker looked more 'beach shop chic' than luxury branding. He explained that at $90 a crate – $30 per bottle – expectations were sky-high. Watch the video here Reading the label's promise of 'soft notes of stone fruit and a lasting finish,' Zack quipped that he hoped nothing from Meghan Markle had a 'lasting finish in his mouth.' Already, his subscribers knew this was not going to be a sugar-coated review. So… how does it actually taste? Despite the sarcasm, Zack admitted the rosé looked light and fresh, which he prefers over darker or sweeter options. He described the smell as summery, but when it came to taste, he was unimpressed. The influencer said he detected 'mineral vibes' but not the promised stone fruit, adding that the flavour felt basic and not worth the $30 price tag. While he conceded it was 'fine' and not undrinkable, Zack slammed the branding as dull and claimed you could get a nearly identical bottle for under $15 at Whole Foods. For him, Meghan's rosé was more about novelty than quality. The final review Zack ended his review with a mic-drop moment, suggesting fans might buy it if they were obsessed with the 'royal refugees,' but he would rather put his money toward a pricier, more worthwhile bottle like Casamigos tequila. In his words, Meghan's rosé was 'fine – but not worth the hype.'
