INDIA. Delhi Duty Free has introduced Ponting Wines in collaboration with famed Australian cricket player, coach and commentator Ricky Ponting in an exclusive Indian subcontinent launch.
The range was launched on 14 May with an event for passengers at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi graced by the former Australian test skipper.
At the meet-and-greet, Ponting commemorated the occasion by signing special-edition Ponting Wine bottles and Kookaburra cricket bats.
“As an avid lover of both cricket and fine wine, I am truly excited to introduce Ponting Wines to the Indian market,” said Ponting. “India holds a special place in my heart, and I am delighted to share the exceptional quality and taste of Ponting Wines with my incredible fans here.”
To create more buzz among cricket enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs, Delhi Duty Free introduced a contest whereby shoppers who bought a bottle of Ponting wine had a chance to win an autographed Kookaburra bat.
Ponting Wines is a collaboration between Ponting and Ben Riggs, an award-winning Australian winemaker. ✈
