Georges Mumm, the founder of the champagne house, sponsored sailing back in 1904 when his friend Captain Charcot became the first Frenchman to reach the Antarctic and celebrate with a glass of G.H. Mumm Champagne. Ever since, Champagne Mumm has been committed as a brand to celebrate remarkable feats of endurance and human achievement - exactly what Skandia Team GBR are doing.

G.H. Mumm is very proud to be bronze partner and official champagne supplier to Skandia Team GBR in their quest for medals in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Since the 1970s, Champagne G.H. Mumm has been closely involved with some of the most prestigious sailing events around the world including the Champagne G.H. Mumm Admirals Cup, the Vend e Globe, the Hermes G.H. Mumm Regatta, and events much closer to home such as Skandia Cowes Week, Royal Cork Week and the JPMorgan Fleming Round The Island Race.

Yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur carries on the spirit of G.H.Mumm and the quest for extraordinary achievement, when she toasted her success in her recent record-breaking solo voyage of the globe. Similarly when she finished 2 ^nd in the 2001 Vend e Globe, her champagne of choice was G.H. Mumm. Ellen and her team mate Nick Moloney join G.H. Mumm and its growing team of explorers and adventurers that are helping to promote the brand as the champagne with a Quest for the Extraordinary .

Other Friends of G.H. Mumm who have celebrated extraordinary achievements with Champagne G.H. Mumm include Bear Grylls, David Hempleman-Adams, Ewan MacGregor, Gordon Ramsay and of course every Formula One Grand Prix winner since 2000!
