The Fun Ships just became a little funner. Former spokesperson for Carnival Cruise Lines and Today Show co-host Kathie Lee Gifford just announced that she has partnered with the cruise line to feature her newest passion: Gifft Wines.

During a recent media announcement aboard the Carnival Breeze, I asked Gifford why she had this passion for wine and she took me back to her childhood in France, and the way drinking wine was a tradition and a way of life for her family. "My happiest and most unforgettable family memories always include wine." For this reason, she decided to embark on this venture, and in April, partnered with Scheid Vineyards of Monterey, California to launch the line.

Gifford insisted the wines had to be something she could put her name to and wanted to make them affordable for everyone. It seems she did. The Red Blend (pictured below) scored 91 out of 100 rating in Wine Enthusiast Magazine, and the very light and refreshing Chardonnay scored 88 out of 100. The wines are currently priced under $20.

In her signature magnetic personality, Gifford introduced the wines to guests aboard the ship this past weekend, and let them get a taste of yet another great reason to sail away on the Fun Ship. When asked what she couldn't do without when boarding on a cruise, Gifford responded, "Sunscreen and imagination… You need to let it take you wherever your ship goes." And Gifford lives by her words. Be sure to sip on one of her vinos next time you go cruising.
