It has been confirmed that German brewer Warsteiner has targeted golf’s European Tour to be the forefront of its brand positioning drive, sale with a senior employee of Warsteiner claiming that the deal represents an “excellent platform to address quality and premium-oriented consumers in the UK and globally.”
