Steps (as I remember them)
I used PS CS3 but nothing I did can't be done in older versions.
1. I found the globe on Google images and just remove the model inside the globe and the design on the base with stamp pad tools.
2. I imported the wine picture on a layer above the globe and sized it.
3. I applied a layer mask to the wine picture and just painted outside of the globe black with a feathered brush. (Layer mask are so much better than just erasing)
4. I applied a slight Distort>Spherize to make it looked distorted through the glass.
5. I set the blend mode for the wine pic to Hard light.
6. For the snow I made a new layer and applied filter Render>Clouds. I set this to clipping mask of the wine layer, so that it would only show up in the globe.
7. Then I applied Pixelate> Mezotint and chose Coarse Grain.
8. Next I removed the black from the layer by simply doing a color select on the black at about 70% and just deleted the selected.
9. I then applied Motion blur at about 20 pixels and -50 degrees.
10. Finally, I applied Distort>twirlize to the snow to make it look like it was blowing around in the globe, instead of just blowing in one direction.
I don't remember all the details but that is the gist of it.
