King Charles III and Queen Camilla celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary at a state banquet in Rome on Wednesday evening and popped a surprising bottle to mark the occasion: the Ferrari Riserva Lunelli 2016. The sparkling wine from Italy’s Trentino region retails for approximately £60 ($78) per bottle in the U.K. — a shockingly approachable wine to toast the King and Queen.
The monarch is known for his love of Champagne — and even went out of his way to switch up which Champagne houses the Crown awarded its royal warrants to this year as a reflection of his tastes — so why would he opt for Italian sparkling for his anniversary?
