About Graham Norton
Graham Norton wines represent a remarkable partnership between the beloved Irish television presenter and New Zealand wine producer Invivo, creating one of the most successful celebrity wine brands in the world. Launched in 2014, the collaboration has grown from a single Sauvignon Blanc to an internationally acclaimed portfolio of wines and spirits sold across the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, USA, and Japan. Graham Norton, born in County Cork and raised in Dublin, is far more than a celebrity lending his name to a product. He personally controls every aspect of the blending process, owns shares in Invivo, and has been hands-on through more than ten vintages. The partnership began when Invivo founders Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron made a spontaneous phone call in 2011, leading to a unique collaboration that combines New Zealand winemaking expertise with Graham's distinctive palate. The flagship New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough has become phenomenally popular, with Nielsen data showing that nine glasses are enjoyed every minute across the UK and Ireland. This remarkable success reflects both the quality of the wine and Graham's genuine connection with his audience. The range has expanded to include New Zealand Rosé, South Australian Shiraz, Argentinian Malbec, Italian Prosecco, and Rosé Prosecco, offering something for every taste and occasion. Graham Norton wines have earned over 300 accolades, including Gold at the Global Sauvignon Blanc Masters, double Gold at the Sydney International Wine Competition, a Trophy at the UK People's Choice Awards, and 90-point scores from both Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator. This critical acclaim validates Graham's dedication to quality in every vintage. UK supermarket shoppers can find Graham Norton wines at Asda, Morrisons, and Lidl, making award-winning wines accessible for everyday enjoyment. The range now also includes spirits: Pink Gin, Irish Dry Gin, Orange Seville Marmalade Gin, and Irish Vodka, extending Graham's commitment to quality beverages beyond wine. His recent recognition as Marlborough's first "Grape Ambassador" by Mayor Nadine Taylor celebrates his long-term advocacy for New Zealand wine.
