Schumacher wines closer to German consumers
Badischer Winzerkeller and Ralf Schumacher officially joined forces on 1st January 2025. As part of a long-term cooperation, Badischer Winzerkeller eG from Breisach is taking over the distribution rights for the product line of the former successful Formula 1 driver and now recognised Formula 1 expert on the SKY TV channel. In addition to his success in motorsport, Ralf Schumacher is also an enthusiastic wine lover and producer. His passion for wine drives him to conquer the German wine market together with a strong team. With the aim of creating exceptional wines that combine quality and innovation, he is pursuing the vision of achieving top performance in the world of wine too.
‘We are thus expanding our portfolio to include outstanding products that are created in the Klet Brda cooperative in Slovenia,’ explained André Weltz, CEO of Badischer Winzerkeller. ‘Together with our partners, we want to make these exceptional wines accessible to consumers in Germany.’
Both companies share the responsibility of paying their winegrowers an appropriate grape price in their respective cooperative structures. ‘We want to secure the future of the winegrowing trade’, as stated in paragraph 2 of the Badischer Winzerkeller’s Sonnenwinzercharta.
