And Europeans have shown a thirst for quality rum, especially Havana Club, the Cuba-produced tipple that's been the fastest-growing brand in recent years for another French firm, Pernod Ricard. (That company also said last week that it was making a $10 billion pitch, along with Fortune Brands, for the England-based Allied Domecq.)

...consolidation trend is starting to appear outside the U.S., although somewhat unevenly. Europe has been slow to shed centuries of vineyard traditions, but the New World producers, especially the Australians, have been expanding aggressively. Four companies--Southcorp Wines, B.R.L. Hardy, Orlando Wyndham (owned since 1989 by Pernod Ricard) and Beringer Blass Wine Estates (Foster's)--now account for 74% of the wine exported from Down Under, according to Macquarie Resource Equities...
