BEAST WINE COLLECTION 

Before his retirement, Beast represented the Springboks and the Sharks on the rugby field. The former loosehead prop has now ventured into winemaking and officially launched his new collection, Beast Wine Collection. 

“I am confident that everyone will enjoy the product as much as I have enjoyed the journey of producing this collection of fine wines,” he said in a statement as per IOL

Beast’s wine collection includes a Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosé and Method Cap Classique (MCC) Brut. 

‘NEW VENTURE REQUIRES LIFTING’

Taking to Instagram, Beast jokingly mentioned that his new business venture requires more lifting than rugby. He also received heartwarming messages from close friends.

“When you thought you left the heavy lifting after Rugby retirement but your new venture requires it even more. The Beast Wine Collection is now available to purchase online,” he wrote. 

Former Rugby player Craig Davidson congratulated Beast writing: “Meneer congrats. I hope the percentage of alcohol slightly higher than the norm.”
