Moldova, which styles itself "the kingdom of wine," will employ renowned Moldovan beauties to serve fine wines for visitors to its pavilion at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, the country's ambassador to China said yesterday.

The eastern European country, which signed an Expo participation contract yesterday, is famous for its wine, its beautiful landscapes and, some say, its beautiful people. Moldova has a 3,000-year history of wine-making.
