CAUDALIE, THE 11-YEAR-OLD French skin-care line known for its grape-seed-extract antiaging formula, is expanding its offerings. The company celebrated the opening of its fourth Vinotherapie Spa in grand fashion last month in Rioja, Spain.

So for you native Americans, I realize this may all sound like a tempest on toast. Vegemite, you say, is just a food. Which is like saying Oprah is just a woman who has a couch.
