Champagne knocked off the F1 podium by a wine called Ferrari

In what is surely a case of nominative determinism, Ferrari Trento sparkling wine has been named the official partner for Formula 1.
From next season, it will be sparkling wine dousing the podium finishers instead of the customary champagne, with the 119-year-old winemaker taking the honours from incumbent brand Carbon.
Ferrari Trento will unleash its first Jeroboam at the first race of the 2021 FIA Formula 1
World Championship in Bahrain on March 27-8. The three year partnership will also see Ferrari Trento’s award-winning Italian metodo classico sparkling wine sold around race tracks across the world.
