...notes Ed Hurwitz, an analyst for Robertson, Stephens & Co. The list of recent mergers, as Hurwitz ticks them off, reads like a Who's Who of biotechnology: "Sandoz buys Genetics Institute. Chiron buys Viagene. Bristol Myers makes a big investment in Somatix. Merck makes a big investment in Vical. Rhone-Poulenc invests in Applied Immune Sciences and several other gene-therapy companies...

...principal varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, are familiar to U.S. buyers. Nonetheless, winemakers Down Under are carefree about tradition, and some of their practices are downright heretical by American or French standards: for example, blending Cabernet Sauvignon, a red grape from the Bordeaux area, with Shiraz, a Rhone Valley varietal known in France as the Syrah. Labels can be confusing as well; the Australians use a lot of mysterious bin numbers, which are intended to denote wines of special quality...
