For the past 40 years, Jon Bon Jovi has taken centre-stage as the front man for one of the most successful rock bands in the world.

Jon, who changed his surname from Bongiovi when he was starting out as a rock star, has collaborated with his eldest son to launch Hampton Water, a wine company inspired by the family’s love of rosé and named after the popular summer playground of the rich and famous in New York’s Long Island that holds a special place in their hearts.
