Mariah Carey is to launch her own champagne. Angel Champagne by MC will hit stores later this year and join her 2006 Mariah Zinfandel on supermarket shelves.

In announcing her new champagne on Friday, Carey poked fun at her boozy performance at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 6.

The pop star and filmmaker pal Lee Daniels were toasting the success of their film Precious backstage and she hit the podium a little tipsy.

She says, "(I) didn't realize they put the champagne on the tables, so we WOULDN'T drink it!"
