For the second drink she soaked apple slices and cinnamon sticks in a red wine she warmed on a burner, which was a drink recipe she picked up while skiing in Europe.
What makes her line of wine unique is they are all organic, vegan and they were specially made to contain zero sugar, which helps prevent morning-after headaches.
Brinkley’s first marriage was to artist Jean-Francois Allaux, whom she divorced in 1981.
