Fictional Movie & TV Alcohol Brands - Bottle Props

I just bought a few bottles of Chateau Picard wine from Star Trek Wines to use for decoration in my office. They have a lot of different types of alcohol on their site form the Chateau Picard wine to Romulan Ale. I know there's a couple of Raiders/ Indiana Jones Whiskey brands that are features in those movies that I can get labels for to make props. I was just curious what other movies or tv shows used fictional or modified alcohol bottles featured on screen that might like nice if I added them to my collection.

Re: Fictional Movie & TV Alcohol Brands - Bottle Props

Do you prefer actual screen used props or just replica props?

I recommend VIP Fan Auctions for screen used props. Sometimes they have bottle props.

Example - Heart Eyes comedy horror movie

Heart Eyes Adeline and Patrick Screen Used Speaker, Champagne Bottle & (2) Champagne Glasses

More looking for just prop replicas. Screen used props are probably out of my price range and often are lower quality then the replicas.

Re: Fictional Movie & TV Alcohol Brands - Bottle Props

Some screen used items are real brands (majority of clothing items), while food and bottle props could just be for looks (as you said, lower quality). I can agree with that.

On the other hand, some items may not be out of your price range. You'll be surprised not many people know about VIP Fan Auctions. As a result, the bids don't get very high for select items.

Around 2010, VIP Fan Auctions worked exclusively with 20th Century FOX (not exclusive to any studio now). I was able to snag three "24" props for $50 to $100 each, since nobody knew about the auctions. While some items did bid to $1000+, the items I got nobody cared about , so less than a handful of bids occurred.

While I can’t stand Johnnie Walker, they released a bottle when Blade Runner 2049 came out that was featured in the film.

I think one of my friends order a screen used "Tully"Star Trek uniform from there. He paid somewhere between $1k-2k for it. There are some screen used items that can go for cheap, but they are usually just random items that aren't really something intregal to the show. The Star Trek wine bottle props went for auction a number of years back, and they went for $5k-$6k.

I've actually sold some items on Ebay over the years that went to the prop department at some Hollywood studios. Years ago, I sold a large sized Trojan condom advertising poster to a movie studio. It eventually showed up in the Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt movie "What Women Want". They had the poster framed up and you could see it for a few seconds on screen on Mel Gibson's office wall behind his desk.

Yes, that's the type of things I'm looking for. I don't know what those originally cost, but looking the prices of empty bottles, you probably made a fairly decent investment as they're selling for $200-$300 empty. The opened ones are going for almost few grand, but they would be difficult to sell since they would still contain alcohol.

I bought a few of these when 2049 came out. I guess I was naïve and thought that I could sell alcohol on eBay, but when I tried last year, they got taken down rather quickly. Needing the money, I bought some empty bottles on Amazon and transferred the Whisky. I was able to sell all the empties for between $175 - $250 each.

I still have some of that Whisky.

Guy Ritchie had his own brewery and pub for a while, but I don't think they exported to NA. As seen in The Gentlemen (2019):
