Insiders claimed the country music legend started drinking after joining the likes of Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, and Francis Ford Coppola, who have made a fortune in the celebrity wine business. Parton's line includes chardonnay, rosé, and prosecco wines as well as a sparkling variety recently released in Australia.

Dolly promoted her new wines in her official Instagram page.
