Ltd., the Montreal-based distillery giant, has become the second- largest American wine producer; it owns both Paul Masson and Taylor wines, along with some 100 other spirits. To woo the yuppie sweet tooth, many distillers are marketing unusual-flavor drinks much lower than liquor in alcohol content. Bailey's Original Irish Cream Liqueur (whiskey, chocolate and cream) and Hublein's Long Island Iced Tea (vodka, gin, tequila, rum and triple sec) are successful examples...
