Ducati Vino [wine]

"Where wine snobbery and motorcycle snobbery meet."
This fills that small niche for people who say, " You know, I just can't find a wine that let's me be pretentious not only about the wine itself, but opens the door for me to tell people how superior my taste is in other aspects of my life as well."
When I go into wine shops now I just ask, "What wine will let people know how awesome I am? And pair well with chicken?"

Awesome [thumbsup]
And not really far off from the "official" sales pitch.
QuoteDesmorosso: not only wine
Officially licensed by Ducati, Desmorosso is a wine that blends the philosophy, passion, professionalism, and successes of the 2007 World Champion motorcycle company.
Imagine a small company that defeated the much larger corporations with their unlimited funds and manpower. Now try to imagine a wine produced with traditional craftsmanship and professionalism delivered by years of hard work and experience: this is Desmorosso, a collection of wines suitable for all lifes special moments; a wine that is not afraid of comparison with the most famous vintages.
Take
THAT Ernest and Julio Gallo!!
Mmmm.....high-maintenance wine.

You have to adjust the gap on the cork every 2 glasses. I hear that with gsxrblanco you only need to do it every fourth bottle or so.

Think Tom Cruise will get the first case delivered to the US? [wine]
T-Byrd, do you rep this one?
Why do they even bother with this crap? I have never seen Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, or Kawasaki advertise like this.
Wine
Snowboards
Swiss army knife
etc

Bud Light gives them profit sharing to keep them out.

Don't forget the Ducati SanDisk Compact Flash Card... (wtf?!)
I actually walked into a puma store and asked about the riding boots, guessing that there was no way in hell they would carry them. The girl there, said, "Oh, actual gear? No we don't carry the real stuff." I was actually impressed. [thumbsup]
On the walls I saw Ferrari and Ducati shoes, and thought, no one actually wears that stuff. And sure enough one day I saw some deutsche-bag in full metro gear had the Ferrari shoes. I wanted to smack the Prada sunglasses off his head while waiting in the grocery store line.

Sandisk is/ was a sponsor of the GP bike so I can kind of understand that, even though it was ridiculous.

Then you saw him strut out to the parking lot and get into his Fiero? [laugh]
The card doesn't say ducati. There's just a cheap sticker on the box saying they're a sponsor. That's not too bad. I definitely had a WTF after I had bought and saw the little sticker. Well I'll be damn.

I think they could whore their name better. Maybe a Ducati Escort 8500 Radar Detector?

Fixed that for you.

That could work.......high cost and maintenance, but a perfect gap [evil]
I would prefer to be ridden than take a ride.

Sorry, I didn't realize the whoring was that bad. I just got a SD Card for the camera and noticed the sticker on the package. Motorcycles on the card is a bit much and selling to .000001% of the population.

On a general note, I really dislike branding everything "extreme" this and "extreme" that. At least Ducati spelled it correctly and didn't go the whole "xtreme" route.

Ducati isn't

It's when you go to Italy and see the Ferrari logo on EVERYTHING!! Kind of like H-D here with their logo on beef jerky, etc. [roll]
