At the Pavilion Visconti in Milan, French champagne house G.H. Mumm just unveiled a special edition gift box designed for the recent Italian Grand Prix Formula One championship, won by Brawn-Mercedes driver Rubens Barrichello. Made from carbon fiber with gold plate details and a black velvet interior, the limited edition G.H. Mumm F1 Box will be available to order in Italy only for €5,000, or about $7,300. It's the cornerstone of a collection of champagne accessories commemorating the famed race designed exclusively for Mumm, founded in 1827 and now owned by Pernod Ricard.

At seven key stages of a worldwide trek that will take four years to complete, Mumm has organized exceptional Mumm Explorer Experiences in partnership with extreme adventurer Mike Horn to celebrate the planet's beauty. Dubbed the 'Commandant Charcot of modern times' who was the first Frenchman to cross Antarctica 100 years ago, Mike Horn is currently retracing Charcot's exact route across Antartica encouraging greater respect for the environment and active participation in the preservation of the world's many natural inhabitants.
