Off-screen, these artists make wine

The Château Miraval winery, acquired in 2008 by the then couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, became one of the centers of the battle between them after the divorce (and FLIPAR created a gallery about it)

The winery is located in the south-east of France and was the scene of their wedding in 2014. A place that, at the beginning, symbolized the couple’s union. In February 2022, after the two split, Pitt even sued Jolie for selling her share of her winery. And now she is the one accusing him of having looted the company. What bullshit!
