Dennis Rodman is the latest NBA player to enter the wine business. Over the years, many stars have joined the $341 billion market, and the 5x champion is now gearing up to compete with them. While stars like Dwyane Wade have tried to make wine more affordable and accessible to the general public, Rodman has gone the complete opposite way and is releasing a top-shelf wine.

Dennis Rodman’s new business venture

  • Dennis Rodman recently shared a video on Instagram of him promoting his new wine. A single bottle of ‘The Rebel Cabernet Sauvignon’ is going for $69.99 on their website, making it stand on the higher end among consumer wines in terms of price.

The bottle has a vibrant image of Rodman on it, and the cork has his initials D and R burned on it on the top. Based on what the Chicago Bulls legend said in his video, it is unclear if this is going to be business for the long run, as Rodman said that it is one-and-done and won’t be available for long.
