Mark_Ranson_Louis_de_Fautereau — Maison Mumm unveils the world’s first connected champagne bottle with a VIP launch party hosted by international musician and friend of the House Mark Ronson at the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix. The connected champagne bottle is inspired by the indescribable thrill of the Formula One podium moment and is designed to enhance the champagne celebration experience.

On the eve of the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix, Maison Mumm hosted a private event with international musician Mark Ronson to launch the world’s first digitally connected champagne bottle. The VIP launch took place on-board Mumm’s private yacht in Monte Carlo, a setting chosen as a celebration of Mumm‘s long-standing partnership with Formula One.

The connected Magnum is an innovation designed to enhance the celebration experience. The launch is inspired by the thrill and emotion of the world’s most recognised moment of celebration, the Formula One podium, which Mumm has been at the heart of since 2000. The moment the cork is popped from this connected Magnum a sensor links to a receiver in the venue’s audio and visual system triggering an interactive sound and visual experience that can be personalised by each prestigious nightclub that will host this offering.
