HUCKNALL'S DRINK PROBLEM CURBED BY OWNING VINEYARD

Former SIMPLY RED star MICK HUCKNALL had an unconventional way of kicking his heavy alcohol intake - he bought a vineyard and became a wine producer.

Mick Hucknall at The Pride of Britain Awards held at the London Studios. London, England - 9.10.07

The British rocker wanted to curb the wild drinking of his youth without checking himself into rehab - and decided starting a business in the wine industry was the way to go.

He says, "Ironically, I did it (reduced his alcohol consumption) by getting into wine.

"It's so weird that that would get me into a different zone. My logic was I would drink less if the drink was better. So I became obsessed with fine wines. I noticed I was drinking less because of that."

Hucknall now owns a vineyard at his 18th century Italian estate at St Alfio on the slopes of Mount Etna.
