...rising proportion of its oil. Human rights, however, are in shorter supply. Earlier this month, German Chancellor Angela Merkel chided Putin for restrictions on opposition rallies during an E.U.-Russia summit. Putin's response: "What is pure democracy?

Eager to gauge their thirst, C&C is conducting market tests in two European cities - Barcelona and Munich - this summer. And S&N says it expects to offer its cider brands in a variety of Continental markets. Both admit it will be a harder sell.
