Larger-than-life soccer manager Jose Mourinho is the latest celebrity to lunch his own wine - and it will cost you big time if you want to buy a bottle of his The Special One red blend.
Portuguese-born Mourinho is one the most famous managers in the world, having been in charge of clubs including Benfica, Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, AS Roma, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Real Madrid and currently Fenerbahçe in Istanbul.
Mourinho led Porto to the Champions League title in 2004 and his first beverage is a wine from a close to the city of Porto.
The Special One, the nickname Mourinho gave himself, is a Douro red made from a blend of touriga nacional, touriga franca, tinta barroca and sousão, news portal The Drinks Business reports.
A bottle will set you back €144 if you pre-order in Europe, or $220 in Australia via https://thespecialonewine.com.au/
In a blurb adorning the presentation box that wine is presented in, Mourinho says: “As someone who values precision, quality, and excellence in every endeavour, I am proud to present The Special One.
“Hand-picked from one of my favourite regions in Portugal, this wine reflects the spirit of my homeland and my relentless desire to enjoy every moment in life.
“Crafted with passion and care, it is a gift from one special one to another. Whether you’re celebrating a victory or spending time with people you care about, this wine is meant to be shared with someone truly special.”
