Not content with recently kicking off his own brand of whisky, soccer star David Beckham has also apparently splashed out on a winery in Napa for his wife Victoria.

The celebrity couple have lived in Los Angeles since Beckham joined the L.A. Galaxy side from Real Madrid in 2008. He reportedly bought the winery in Napa Valley shortly afterward, so he could present Victoria with a bottle bearing her name on the label.

The winery is run by a team of specialists, but it is thought that the wine will not be made available to the general public, instead being shared out among the Beckhams' famous friends. We're picking the wine has a spicy finish, given Victoria's previous role.

The property itself also includes a lavish mansion, and is valued at many millions of dollars. Interestingly enough, the couple have apparently not spent a great deal of their time at the property, preferring instead to spend their time at a similarly ostentatious compound located somewhere in the south of France.

However, neither of the world-famous Beckhams have announced to the media any intention to dispose of the multi-million dollar vineyard and its accompanying property. Considering it was originally purchased by Beckham in 2008, at the height of the global financial crisis, it's likely he got a bargain.

He isn't the first celebrity to invest in wine, with rock stars like Sting and Queensryche's Geoff Tate also bottling their fame. Movie industry stars like Paul Newman and Francis Ford Coppola have also crossed over into the wine world, so it's no great surprise that Beckham did likewise.

Even as a player, Beckham was something of a one-man brand, launching ranges of underwear and fragrances. He also had lucrative promotional deals with the likes of Nike. Earlier this month he announced a tie-in with Diageo's Haig whisky brand that saw him lend his name to a single grain Scotch.

Alongside his wife, the couple has become famous for simply being famous around the world. Beckham retired from football 18 months ago and has been looking at setting up a Major League Soccer franchise with some of his estimated $280-million fortune. Victoria has reportedly been in talks about a Spice Girls reunion next year.
