What do you get when you blend Daniel Ricciardo's trademark 'shoey' with the Aussie's love of wine? The Ricciardo Decanter, of course!

The McLaren driver initiated a partnership in 2020 with Australia's St Hugo wines, and since, Ricciardo's wine skills have shifted up a gear and helped produce a South Australian Shiraz and a Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, labeled DR3 X.

However, to ensure the optimal release of the wine's flavours and aroma, one can now rely on an "aerodynamic with finely tuned curves" limited-edition decanter, painstakingly hand-blown and moulded based on Ricciardo's famed racing boot.

Right, we'll gladly drink to that!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
