Sir Rod Stewart visits his local Tesco to see his own whisky brand on the shelves

It's not very often you spot a huge megastar when you are doing your grocery shopping or perhaps that's just me? Well chances are if you were at the Tesco in Bishop’s Stortford, Essex, recently, you might have been amongst the lucky shoppers to be treated to a glimpse of Sir Rod Stewart. The reason why Sir Rod Stewart had popped to his local Tesco was to see the Scotch whisky he launched last year. 

The 79 year old launched Wolfie’s Whisky last year in collaboration with Loch Lomond Distillery and is now being stocked at £35 per bottle in more than 400 of Tesco stores. He said that “It’s just wonderful to see Wolfie’s in pride of place at Tesco. I’m delighted to think it’s even easier for people to pick up a bottle of Wolfie’s and it’s been lovely speaking to the team here in Bishop's Stortford to see what they thought of it.”

According to Sir Rod Stewart his Wolfie’s Whisky is a tribute to his lifelong love affair with Scotland and revealed that “I couldn’t imagine getting involved in something like Bacardi, it had to be Scotch whisky because of my dad and my love of Scotland and, of course, Celtic, So it was a no-brainer really.”

Sir Rod Stewart was recently photographed on a night out with his wife Penny Lancaster, the couple were joined by former footballer Kenny Daglish for dinner at The Ritz in London. Kenny Daglish won a Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year. Sir Rod Stewart and wife Penny are clearly fans of The Ritz as the couple celebrated Sir Rod’s sister Mary’s 95th birthday there at the end of 2023.
