Watch out, Kyle MacLachlan—you’ve got competition in the celebrity wine biz.
John Oliver capped off Sunday night’s episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver by launching his own cabernet sauvignon—and yes, it’s real, and available to purchase online.
The unveiling came at the end of a segment in which Oliver explored the long history of celebrity wine ventures, from Orson Welles’ drunken Paul Masson ad shoots to a 1990 instructional VHS titled The Celebrity Guide to Wine, featuring then-spouses Steven Seagal and Kelly LeBrock, to MacLachlan’s Washington winery, Pursued by Bear.
Oliver went on to note that there’s already a Canadian wine bearing his name: the “John Oliver Selection,” which is actually named for British Columbia’s early-20th-century premier, known as “Honest John.” With the Canadian wine unavailable for import to the U.S., Oliver introduced his own label, Cabernet SauvignJohn, which he is selling online in a limited run.
Promotional materials describe the wine as being made from “the finest Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, with notes of vanilla, cocoa powder, dark fruits, plum, and a hint of leather. Plush tannins, medium-plus body.”
“This California cabernet is a great way to kick back, relax, and wind down after a long week. It’s essentially the exact opposite of this show,” Oliver joked on the broadcast.
According to Oliver, Cabernet SauvignJohn is intentionally unprofitable. “The great news is absolutely zero proceeds will be going to my employer, because not only are we selling this at a financial loss,” he said, “but from the sales, we are also donating a total of $50,000 to 16 food banks in California.”
Bottles of Cabernet SauvignJohn can be purchased while supplies last at CabernetSauvignJohn.com.

can you ship to australia
Sorry I’d rather not die yet. So sad
So that the surplus population can be decreased of studid fuckholes, like you!
“we are also donating a total of $50,000 to 16 food banks in California.”
Amazing…..Multi-millionaire, making millions more from wine sales, gives $3K to an individual food bank.
So generous/s
Mucky Boy, the racist scumhole that he is, shits all over charities to food banks, while praising his Lord and Master Drumpf and his Republican sycophants, for taking away SNAP benefits for millions of Americans! Let’s all give Mucky boy a hand, peoples! And violently slap his smug stupid face around till he goes crying to his mommy!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s such a paltry amount to food banks and Oliver thinks he should be virtue-signaled over it.
Did Oliver ever give his salary from his racist role in the racist “The Love Guru” to an anti-Hindu/Indian discrimination group?
He should have.
To prove to you racist holes that he has virtue in him that satisfies you?
Bitchboy, you Drumpf licking MAGAts have no virtue nor honor in you! It’s all grievance, 24/7! Only now, you’re in full blown crybaby mode, because everything you losers though would happen hasn’t! Except, it’s all coming back to bite you ignorant fucks hard!
I look forward to the day you get evicted from your trailer home, Mucky Boy.
Now watch, peoples, as Mucky Boy immediately responds to me, because he’s a fucking sad loser!
Virtue signaling at its finest. Celebrities are a joke.
I think you’re missing the forest for the trees.
How much of your time and/or money are you donating?
To clarify, John said $50,000 of proceeds, there is no profit, as the wine is already being sold at a loss. He mentioned the donation to encourage people to order the wine.
I can almost guarantee you perform pit maneuvers with your keyboard daily.
Thank you #John Oliver for delivering information through your brand of humor!
Bitch hole!🖕😈🖕
how much have you donated, asshole?
Love this! We are from the Okanagan and enjoy the wines from Road 13. Thank you for shedding light on our beautiful area. There are so many wineries in the Okanagan that they call it Napa North. We really love your show! It is so on point!
I bought a light rosé from there many years ago on holiday from UK. Best wine I ever had. Also sampled a red so dry it was like drinking gasoline 🤣
Will you have additional bottles of Cabernet SauvignJohn for sale? If so, about when? I would love to get my hands on one. Thanks
Really bummed out wanted to buy some of John Oliver wine and it was already sold out I’m a REALLY BIG BIG FAN AND NOW I’M SITTING HERE CRYING BECAUSE I COULDN’T GET ANY
I hope you make more of that wine. It was sold out when I went to order. Too exciting to miss!!
I think it was most likely the bottles were from Aldi that had the labels steamed off – but I know what you mean. Love Last Week Tonight 😊
Sweet 😊
Crap! I can’t believe your wine sold out so FAST! I was drinking my white wine, as I was watching your program. I can’t be that slow in accessing the INTERNET, because I’m over 70 years of age?
You have a fabulous show, I have it scheduled to record, on my VCR.
I hope you have more of your wine available, soon.
Steve from IDAHO
Sold out in less than 24 hours! Put more up please ❣️
Day late and a bottle short. Sold out – crap.
John! Please make more…. it is all gone…… would love to drink some while wearing my Erie Moon Mammoths shirt 🙂
