Harry Potter star Emma Watson
launches craft gin Renais!

While Hollywood celebrities are launching alcohol brands one after another, actor Emma Watson, best known for her role as Hermione in the Harry Potter film series, has started a gin brand called Renais with her brother Alex. But it was never about jumping on a trend. It was part of their family history in the alcohol business, and also a new challenge to environmental protection. Here are some of the details.

Father made wine in Chablis!

Emma Watson has appeared in a number of hit films since the Harry Potter film series and is currently studying creative writing at Oxford Graduate School, alongside her acting career.

She and her brother Alex's father, Chris Watson, worked as a barrister in Paris before falling in love with Chablis in Burgundy, France, and buying the vineyard over 30 years ago.

He started growing grapes and making wine in the vineyard, which he named 'Domaine Watson'.

In 2002, he was not only second in the independent producers category in the Chablis region at the Medaille d'Argent, but he was also an ambassador for Chablis in the UK.

Emma and Alex have fond memories of their father's summer visits to the vineyards of Chablis and his passion for winemaking, which also inspired them to start making their own gin.
