Ducati Vino

"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?"

And not really far off from the "official" sales pitch.

Desmorosso: 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!!

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.

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

Bud Light gives them profit sharing to keep them out.

Don't forget the Ducati SanDisk Compact Flash Card... (wtf?!)

[DucPete]

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.   

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.
