Drunken Horse Racing

I love it when people, who own a company that makes alcoholic drinks, get a new hobby. All of a sudden, you see them sponsoring the most silly events or making 'commemorative bottles' which bear no relevance to their product or marketing campaign. Bruichladdich, for example, sponsored a motor racing team, Benromach decided to sponsor the a round the world yacht team and now Kendall-Jackson is releasing a range of wines to commemorate the highly successful racehorse, Rachel Alexandra!

When I read the article on Decanter's website, it struck me that there are a lot of products or terms in the alcohol trade that would make a great race horse name, here are a few I came up with. (Put on your best Peter O'Sullevan voice to read the bit below!)
Tio Pepe leading Halfapint, followed by Chateauneuf, Cherry Heering, Tawny Port and Famous Grouse in fifth, Asti Spumante and then Knackersyard of Ale bringing up the rear.

If you think of any more, please post a comment.

I'd certainly have a flutter on Bordeaux Blend, Grand Cru, Sparkling Shiraz or Dry Sherry...
How could I forget White Lightning?!!!
