Star studded

What do you get when you blend wine with Renee Zellweger, Charlize Theron, Will Ferrell, Tim Robbins, Samuel L. Jackson?

One big, fat Aussie junket apparently!

These stars and the 35 other presenters at the Golden Globes award ceremony will all receive an all-expenses-paid, "VIP wine adventure" in the Hunter Valley for a total cost of $800,000 (AUD) to the sponsors, Qantas airlines and Rosemount. Rosemount has recently been using discounts taken at the register (akin to consumer electronics) to move their wines so this certainly would add more glitz to their sales and marketing.

Maybe I should take up a career in movie award presenting?!?
