(TDB) - From bottle-shaped cars to souped-up Rolls-Royce delivery vans, vehicles have been enlisted as marketing tools for wineries for decades.

A Penfolds delivery vehicle from the 1940s, an Antinori-commissioned station wagon from the same decade, and a truck shaped like a cork form a cavalcade of winery vehicles that are just a little larger than life.

This bottle-shaped car was a working Penfolds delivery vehicle in Sydney, Australia in the 1940s. It’s not clear where the wine went, and the driver doesn’t look entirely convinced he’s in the right job, but it would certainly have reinforced the brand message around the city’s streets.

Vintage Krug Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow II, 1979

Krug once had three of these converted 1979 Rolls-Royces, delivering their champagne to high profile events in Europe, the US and Japan. Now they just have one, with the number plate KRU 149, and since the start of this year it’s been fully restored and back at its home at Maison Krug, complete with fridges to chill sixteen bottles, wooden cases for eight tulip glasses and a tent that folds out from the rear door. Passengers might need to rely on Rolls-Royce’s famously smooth suspension to keep their bubbles from spilling when travelling over the vineyard track in the picture.
