6. HAMPTON WATER
It all started in 2017, when rock star and Hamptons resident Jon Bon Jovi took his talents on the stage to co-launch a rosé that danced with flavor. In collaboration with Jesse Bongiovi and Gérard Bertrand, he launched Hampton Water Rosé, curated from the perfect blend of grenache, cinsault and mourvèdre grapes.
