Reactions pour in fast

Mzansi quickly reacted to the news, with many praising her new venture while a few criticised it.

@DonaldMakhasane said:

"We don't have money."

@FootballStage1 commented:

"Who is going to buy this nonsense?"

@MtshaliBanele found fault with the wine's name:

"The brand name is not going to sell."

One user, @Luleko_Mtshali, offered a bit of a controversial statement. He said:

"She just need to be backed by old Jewish money and she would be set for life and generations to come."

Another one, @kuronature, bluntly said:

"The name is not good. That should have been the slogan maybe."

@MasonDoLindor noted something deep:

"South Africa will never be sober. We love to support our celebrities, all of them, but when we do, siyadakwa [we get drunk]."

@ZikhaliBandile said:

"I love seeing our local people win but their branding and brand naming are always bad. Why call it "Sip of Piano"? Why didn't she just use a simple brand name. Now imaging asking someone to buy you "Sip of Piano wine."

@TheGeopol shared:

"Branding is not respected in this country."

@Thatogatsi99 complimented Lady Du, saying:

"Good for her."

Another positive comment from @Past_2Present read:

"That's nice. Good luck to her. I hope it sells."

@EmyGraece noted a pattern:

"Almost every South African artist ventures into alcohol business. Kanti what's cooking, bafunani ukusenza idakwa [do they want to make us drunkards?"

@Amahashi_ said:

"Everyone is promoting alcoholism. Aren’t there other things they can launch?"

@woza_diego added:

"Lady Du is a smart business woman. I met her at the SME business summit in Midrand. She's a very smart lady."

@aneleflawz state:

"The brand name will be her disadvantage but, anyway, good business idea."

Lady Du and Lasizwe go on an 'Awkward Date'

In a previous Briefly News report unrelated to the wine launch, Lady Du posted multiple videos and photos from her date with Lasizwe, giving him his flowers. She also noted how the date brought out a side to her that people never knew existed.

Lasizwe returned the love and penned an even sweeter message to the amapiano singer.
