It’s no secret that David Beckham’s favorite drink is an expensive bottle of red wine.
However, while strolling through the streets of Barcelona, the former England captain swapped his favorite French vino for the finest Belgian beer Stella Artois.
Beckham, 48, who is worth an estimated £372 million, was seen carrying six bottles of lager as he walked a dog.
But the former England captain’s expensive tastes have not changed as he films an advert for Stella Artois after signing a lucrative contract to become the new ambassador.
Beckham is said to have completed the deal late last year, shortly before it was announced that his DB Ventures company would double its turnover by 2022.

Dressed in a trendy cream bomber jacket from Italian label Loro Piano, which costs an eye-watering £4,135, paired with brown trousers, he filmed the advert in the Catalan city’s chic Born district.
The images for the campaign, which launches this spring, were also shot in two of Barcelona’s most famous bars, l Metropolitan and El Paradis, where a Beckham lookalike replaced the star during rehearsals.
A source close to Stella said: ‘It’s such a coup to get David. Normally he’s not someone you would associate with a beer brand, but the images were beautiful.’
The ex-footballer follows, among others, British actor Idris Elba and Hollywood star Matt Damon as the face of the company.
Beckham was one of the founders of the single grain Scotch brand Haig Club and its ‘face’ since 2014, but he ended the collaboration last summer.
He is also known for his penchant for expensive red wine and last year he revealed that he and wife Victoria, 49, would order the most expensive bottle – and champagne – when they started dating.
Beckham said: ‘I’m from the East End of London so I only saw my mum and dad drinking Blue Nun and Lambrusco, that’s as good as it really is.

‘When Victoria and I first started dating we went to a restaurant in the Midland Hotel in Manchester called The French Restaurant.
‘It was very chic, we used to sit there in the corner and order the most expensive bottle of champagne and the most expensive bottle of wine. Not knowing what we were drinking.’
It comes after David stepped out with a mystery wrist injury on his right hand while out for dinner with wife Victoria and son Romeo – after bragging about his 1,000 push-up reps in an Instagram clip last week.
The football icon, 48, took his family to the chic La Loma restaurant at Oswald’s private club in Mayfair.
David looked typically dapper in a navy blue pinstripe suit paired with a striped shirt and tie.
The former footballer appeared cheerful when the family trio left the venue after dinner around 10:30 p.m.
Earlier last week, David couldn’t resist putting his eldest son Brooklyn in his place as they both shared workout videos.
The former footballer lived up to his heartthrob status as he showed off his toned, tattooed physique while doing push-ups shirtless.

David uploaded the video after his son Brooklyn, 24, gave insight into his own gym routine as he did a series of chest flyes with his personal trainer Chase Weber.
The footballer, who often roasts his sons on social media, grinned cheekily at the camera as he pressed dumbbells.
He captioned the shot: “998, 999, 1000.” Fans took to the comments section to gush over his ripped physique.
They wrote: ‘He’s doing some ‘fancy’ things’ and ‘Well that just warmed me up on this cold day’.
