Fat Bastard Awards
This is probably one of the most unusual wine awards you'll ever seen: Top Ten Most Pretentious Public Figures: A New Year Poll From the Makers of FAT bastard Wines.

Claiming to be the third-bestsellinglinks French wine brand in the United States, Fat Bastard's line of wines includes Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. While I so far can't speak for their taste as far as wine goes, I have to say I think their taste as far as humor goes is excellent.

Here's a description of this award from a company press release:

Described as "Wine for the anti-snob," by Time magazine, FAT bastard is unlike a lot of high-quality wines that put themselves up on a platform of pompousness. Its fun and irreverent name, laid back attitude and superior quality allow the wines' fruit-forward, great taste to speak for itself.

In fact, the FAT bastard company so dislikes the snooty shenanigans of self-importance in the wine world -- or anywhere else for that matter -- they feel it's their duty, purely as a public service, to identify the most offensively officious folks of the year. In order to do this, it asked 100 Lifestyle editors from newspapers coast to coast to name the most pretentious poseurs.


Some of the top picks for their award include Paris Hilton, Kevin Federline, and Jessica Simpson. But wait! There's more. You can actually cast your own ballot on line: http://www.fatbastardwine.com/releases/release_010307.htm
