A ceremony driven by high-octane glamour, the A-listers will be out in force for the 85th Academy Awards on February 24.

With movie stars descending on the red carpet and a worldwide audience tuning in, it's time to throw an Oscar night party and polish up your best stemware.

To mirror this sparkling occasion, pop the cork on Champagne Thienot 2005, France (£41.90, www.aduv.co.uk), which will be served at the star-studded event alongside a gourmet meal prepared by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck.

Champagne's youngest rising star, Thienot has only released eight other vintages in its 27-year history, and the 2005 is rich and sumptuous with aromas of freshly baked brioche and mouth-filling honey and fresh fruits.

For an evening of wine and song, try Domaine de L'Aigle Limoux Chardonnay 2010, France (£9.99 from £12.99, Majestic) to cheer along with a rendition of Drink With Me from Les Miserables. Bright and fresh with ripe aromas of peach and hazelnuts, it'll bring new life to a favourite recipe.

Quentin Tarantino's crime thriller Django Unchained stories a German bounty hunter who befriends a former slave and viewers can take solace in a glass of Peter & Peter Mosel Riesling Trocken 2011, Germany (£5.99 from £6.49, until Feb 19, Tesco). Dry and clean with delicious peach and apricot flavours, counterbalanced by good acidity, it's a perfect match with Asian bites while the excellent soundtrack plays in the background.

Up for a cache of medals, Life Of Pi is a fantasy adventure that should be honoured with a Bollywood wine. Try Mantra Sauvignon Blanc 2009, India (£8.99, www.laithwaites.co.uk) for an exotic medley of kiwi fruit, gooseberry and grapefruit and a good illustration of how the Indian terroir can produce quality wines.

Steven Spielberg's Lincoln is a strong favourite to walk away with an Oscar and a robust red from one of Washington State's most colourful characters is a top drop to applaud the critics' choice.

Charles Smith has won many accolades for his cool climate reds and Charles Smith Black Crown Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, USA (£11.99, www.laithwaites.co.uk) is supple and rich with sweet cherries and currants, a hint of eucalyptus and an appealing warm, earthy finish.

Director Ben Affleck will be hoping to repeat his success at the Baftas and triumph in Tinseltown with his Iranian hostage drama Argo.

Far from the Hollywood Hills but still in the Sunshine State, the Napa Valley is the bling-bling of the grapevine and several famous faces have put their names to wines such as top-ranked pro golfer Luke Donald.

For a taste sensation, try Luke Donald Collection Claret, Napa Valley, 2006, USA (£29.99, www.cellarviewines.com). A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot, it's a red Bordeaux style but California's long, sunny days bless this wine with a silky veil of intense black fruit. Concentrated and opulent with coffee accents, it's the best-dressed label for a front-row seat.
