Best Job Ever!? Apply for This Wine Company’s “Vinternship”
10 June 2022, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund: Wine from Dortmund can be seen in a wine glass between the vines of a vineyard near the renaturalized Emscher. The Emschergenossenschaft started growing wine along the Emscher and its tributaries ten years ago. Further, larger vineyards are in the planning stage.

I prefer beer over wine so this would not work for me because I’m not a wine drinker and am clueless when it comes to the stuff. However, maybe this would be perfect for you or someone you know. It’s something that all wine drinkers have dreamed about. If you consider yourself somewhat of a wine connoisseur, or perhaps just a simple someone who likes to sip or chug some delightfully fermented juice from delicious bunches of plump grapes. This is your dream job. Wine retailer Majestic is going to pay someone to drink wine while vacationing. Yes, you read correctly, they not only want to pay you to take a vacation in the Mediterranean, they want to pay you to enjoy some delicious vino, and they’re willing to pay you handsomely for it. The wine maker wants to find out if wine tastes better on vacation. Spoiler alert; it does! Everything does! Should you land this much sought after position, you will be paid rather generously. How much? The job pays $241 a day! That’s the equivalent of over eighty seven thousand dollars a year.
Majestic’s job ad reads, ”We’re looking for someone to put the idea to the test. We’ll fly you to the Iberian Peninsula, to taste the wines of Spain and Portugal in the country they were made in, with flights, accommodations and a case of our superb Wine Club wines to sample all provided. You’ll also be compensated with $241 per day spending money. Then we’ll also send you a case of wine to try back at home. You’ll be asked to evaluate the two experiences and let us know which wines tasted better. No previous tasting experience required, just an open mind, a passport and a love of beautiful bottles. As well as tasting the bottles and enjoying some summer holiday sun, the chosen budding wine taster will also be treated to a visit to some of our Wine Club’s beautiful wineries and vineyards.”

In Memoriam: My Favorite Pics of Kim and Pete and Theories Why It Didn't Work Out for "Kete"
I don’t know about you, but Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, aka Kete, were one of my favorite celebrity couples. It seems like just yesterday that they shared a kiss in the Aladdin skit on Saturday Night Live. Kim played Jasmine and Pete was Aladdin, and the nine-month magic carpet ride has run out of gas or ran out of whatever magic carpets run on. I guess they run on magic, and maybe the high cost of magic lately was too much for their relationship to withstand.
I really enjoyed reading, watching, and talking about them every day. It’s very disappointing, mainly because they seemed to be so happy and had so much in common. For instance, Kim’s mother Kris loves Kim, and Pete’s mother Amy hates Kim, opposites attract. Kim is thirteen years older than Pete, ironically Kim was thirteen years old when Pete was born… do you think this is a coincidence? Me neither.
So why didn’t it work out? Perhaps Pete was jealous of Kim’s cat Mercy #2. Mercy #2 is less than a year old and demands a lot of her attention. It’s possible Kim chose her kitty one too many times over Pete. There’s also the theory that Kim wasn’t comfortable with the age difference, Pete is 27 years older than Mercy #2.
Some have suggested that it was the stress the relationship had to sustain from Kim’s former husband…Kris Humphies. Kris has remained virtually silent during the entire affair, one would surmise that his unobtrusiveness and lack of threats obviously put a strain on their kinship that was simply unbearable.
Then there’s the distance issue. Long-distance relationships are difficult for any couple, not to mention couples whose every move is magnified under the scrutiny of the public. The traveling was absurd, sometimes it would take them several hours to get from the bedroom to the kitchen, that’s a big house!
Nevertheless, these pictures that I had the honor of not taking, are all I have to potentially and fondly remember my favorite celebrity couple of all time, not including other celebrity couples.
