We have a series of music and lifestyle events coming up during the year with the likes of FORD MOTOR COMPANY and PUMA clothing and the VOLVO OCEAN RACE. Your company is exactly the type we would like try and involve in these events and having looked after Pernod Ricard for the past 4 years in all there labels we hoped you might be interested in letting us explain how we might be able to involve you in some large events for a relatively low cost. It would be great to hear from you. If you would like to call me my number is 07930849069. In the mean time i wish you continued success with your business.

Drink Chiefs In Whisky Award Cheating Row

DRINKS giants Diageo have been accused of trying to rig a top whisky prize.

Competition organisers say they caught out Diageo - the world’s biggest drinks producer - voting for themselves dozens of times in the Drammies awards.

And they warned they could be disqualified if they do it again.

Diageo say the claims are “speculative” but confirmed they are investigating.

Organiser Kevin Erskine said he noticed around 100 votes in favour of Diageo products in the online poll had been sent to the wrong email address.

He added all of them came from email addresses ending with “diageo.com”.

Kevin said the suspicious emails went not to the voting address but to one he’d set up to give general information about the poll - the only whisky award voted for by consumers.

He has now posted a blog on his thescotchblog website pointing the finger at the drinks firm.

And he wrote: “Incredibly, the suspicious votes are still coming in thick and fast, meaning that whoever is voting hasn’t even bothered to log on to the website to check.”

Last year’s awards saw Diageo’s Johnnie Walker Blue Label receive the most overrated whisky award.

A spokesman for Diageo, who employ 22,000 people worldwide and operate in over 180 countries, said they were looking into the claims

I'd quite like to stick a bottle in at a tasting we're doing in May. You'd be in against a Glenmorangie and a Johnnie Walker and some others still to be decided.
