Aside from being an actress, singer, and fashion icon, Nadine has apparently delved into the world of wine. She, together with her French partner Christophe Bariou, just launched Maison Bukana wines. Named after Christophe’s Siargao beach resort, the exquisite beverage is a fusion of “the endless hills of French vineyards to the turquoise waters of the Philippine archipelago.” In fact, its tagline goes, “Harmonizing Excellence in Both Worlds.”

In an exclusive interview, Nadine also shared that they carefully selected a vineyard to develop the wine, aligning it with Filipino tastes. “We went to France and we looked for a vineyard that would develop the wine. So, the wine and all were developed in France, but iyong iniisip nga namin the wine is born in France but enjoyed by Filipinos because it’s more for the Filipino palate,” she told PhilStar. “It’s really different because tayo mahilig sa sweet and savory na food and drinks, so iyong wine na napili namin was mainly for our palette.”

In addition, she mentioned her hands-on approach, actively participating in branding and design, illustrating the couple’s dedication to creating a relatable yet unique brand identity. She said, “Ako iyong in charge (with) the sticker. I designed for the marketing as well, I’m helping out for the card in the post… That’s what I kind of do best.”
Maison Bukana wines, including Vendange d’Ete (red), Presqu’ile (white), and Les Beaux Jours (rosé), are available in 750-ml bottles retailing for Php 1,199 each on Boozy.ph.
