Vintage Wines and Vintage Cars

Look closely at the label on this bottle of Twin Fin Pinot Noir and you'll spot a 1968 Plymouth Valiant convertible. It's not the first time the automobile has been associated with wines, although it may be a first for wine labels. Former F1 star Maurice Trintingant invested his winnings in a French vineyard and although I can't say for certain that his wines are currently available in North America, they were at one time. F1 and Indy 500 Champion Mario Andretti now markets a Napa Valley wine under his own name, though I've yet to sample a bottle. Vintage wines, vintage cars... a marketing natural and I'm surprised that more hasn't been made of it. Incidentally, the Toronto Globe and Mail's wine critic describes Twin Fin Pinot Noir as "a remarkable achievement for less than $20.00."
