a<\/span>Lionel Messi, the star player of the Argentina national team that won the Qatar World Cup in 2022, is trending again on social media after he commented in an interview that he likes to drink wine in Sprite to get through the alcohol quickly.<\/p>\nAfter this comment generated a lot of buzz on various social networks, people started wondering which wine Lionel Messi uses to pair with this Coca-Cola soft drink.<\/p>\n
\n
\nLionel Messi reveals who he doesn’t rely on to babysit his children<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nLionel Messi and Sprite’s wine preferences<\/h2>\n In an interview with the LUZU TV YouTube channel, the Argentine player showed a relaxed side that is rarely seen on and off the soccer field. At one point in the interview, Argentines were asked about their preference for alcoholic beverages, and they said they do so when they have the opportunity to drink alcoholic beverages at parties and gatherings. The Argentine replied:<\/p>\n
\n“I like wine, and if not always, it’s wine and Sprite. Like an instant hit.”<\/p>\n
messi<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe Argentine’s comments caused a bit of laughter during the interview and on social networks, and a small clip of it went viral. These were flooded with comments from his followers and international sports media, and after the interview was published, Coca-Cola increased its share by more than 2% with just one comment.<\/p>\n
The rise in the soft drinks company’s share price has led many users to compare it to what happened at Euro 2020, when Cristiano Ronaldo removed two Coca-Cola bottles from the table and replaced them with water, causing the company’s share price to fall.<\/p>\n
What wine does Messi drink with Sprite?<\/h2>\n The Argentine star drinks wine from none other than his own personal line and pairs it with Sprite, a premium Syrah from Europe. This wine is priced over 60 euros and is only sold online.<\/p>\n
The red wine used by the MLS Champion is part of a limited exclusive series produced by Italian-Swiss winery MM Winemaker. The Messi Collection is produced using grapes from the Puglia region of southern Italy, but vinification takes place in Switzerland, where the MM Winemaker winery has won over 500 international awards.<\/p>\n
Lionel Messi has collaborated with the brand to launch a range of wines. In 2023, the “Diamond”, “Titanium”, “Platinum” and “GOAT 10” collections were launched and quickly sold out due to high demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
