The Boat Race signs wine partner

UK winemaker Chapel Down has entered into a partnership with The Boat Race Company, which organises the annual rowing races between the English universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

The deal will run for four years, from 2017 to 2020.

Chapel Down will provide a selection of wine products to the victorious team at the end of each race.

Last year, Cambridge won the men’s race for the first time since 2012.
