The U.S. exported only about $1 million worth of whiskey to India last year, just 1% of total U.S. whiskey exports and an even tinier fraction of the $7.5 billion Indian whiskey market. Coleman is hoping to change that. In October, his trade group organized a three-city tour of India to introduce Indian consumers to the pleasures of bourbon, rye and other American whiskeys. At the New Delhi event, the New York City bar legend Toby Cecchini, who is credited with inventing the Cosmopolitan, mixed classic cocktails...

...costs. SAB Miller, for example, contracts 10,000 farmers in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan to grow barley for all the beer they sell in India - including Foster's, which is branded as Australian but brewed in India. The company has been operating in India since 2000, and last year made a profit of about $7.5 million on $230 million in revenue - enough to convince it to invest $500 million more in India over the next five years.

The wine market has grown from virtually zero 10 years ago to $253 million last year, and it is expected to more than double to $630 million by 2013.

...Serbian President Boris Tadic, whose victory last year in a tight runoff election was seen as crucial to the country's further integration with Europe, submitted the application on a trip to Sweden, the country that currently holds the E.U. presidency. "This is indeed a great day for Serbia. This day represents a crossroads," Tadic said. "Today we are entering a stage which is very difficult, which demands deep and painful reforms."

...arrest of Mladic, a Bosnian Serb general indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on genocide charges for his alleged role in the slaughter of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica in 1995. Serbia handed over former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic to the Hague last year, and Tadic has said he is committed to meeting Serbia's international obligations.
