WINE COMPANY CASHING IN ON 'MILE HIGH CLUB' MEMBER RALPH FIENNES

A SMALL Coonawarra winery is cashing in on the fling between Ralph Fiennes and Qantas flight attendant Lisa Robertson. The wine she served the actor, as shown on a 60 Minutes story about the incident, was the multiple award-winning Majella cabernet sauvignon. Now Majella co-owner Brian Lynn is asking his mailing list members and visitors to the winery website to come up with slogans to reflect Majella's role in the liaison. Among the responses, which are in line to earn a bottle of the company's top-of-the-range 2003 Malleea, are: "Majella services Qantas first-class passengers - as do the stewardesses"; "Majella - miles above the rest"; "Oh, ohh, ohhh, oooohhhhh, OOOOHHHhhhhhhhhh . . . Majella"; "You don't have to join the mile high club to get a piece of the action, it's available in all good liquor outlets now"; "When the urge strikes you, there's always Majella"; "Go a mile high with Majella - a natural coupling"; "Majella: uncork the passion"; and, finally: "Majella will take you all the way in first class!" Fellow Coonawarra winemaker Doug Balnaves chipped in with: "If you want a fella, pour Majella."
