Pentagon chief Leon Panetta will bring in the New Year with a bottle of red wine worth almost $10,000 courtesy of a bet with a friend over tracking down Osama bin Laden.

The wager was struck last New Year's Eve in California, when restaurateur Ted Balestreri pledged to uncork the oldest bottle in his cellar if Mr Panetta - who then headed the CIA - found the Al Qaeda chief.
