Mr Willis, best known for the Die Hard movies, will get a 3.3pc stake, or
83,000 shares, to continue to promote Sobieski worldwide, the company said.

The stock will be transferred next month, chief executive Jacques Rouvroy
said.

France's Belvedere sought protection from creditors in July 2008 after
breaking a bond covenant and has introduced a restructuring plan involving
asset sales to help it exit the French "safeguard" procedure.

Belvedere said it expected sales of Sobieski, which was the family name of
Polish monarchs, to more than double in the United States this year to
around 5.18m litres.
