hat tip to Dr. Vino for first breaking the story and to the Wall Street Journal for continuing the coverage:

As a wine professional, of course this is shocking to me, but I deal with subtle marketing ploys every day of my life- surrounded by commercials, presentations, programming, billboards and more. Can you keep your Swiss-like neutrality on an all expense paid trip to Argentina? No idea. I am looking forward to seeing how this story develops over the next few days!
