Searched for publicly traded companies primarily engaged in the wine
business and can only come up with two: Mondavi (MOND) and Chalone
(CHLN).

Constellation Brands (STZ) sell wine *and* beer, so not primarily a
wine company.

Any other suggestions that I may have overlooked?

Thanks.

Vincor trades on the TSX (Toronto) under symbol VN. You can see a

Leo, are you only looking for US companies? I think Southcorp and Constellation
(both Oz, though Constellation owns Canandaigua Brands) are public, Louis
Vuitton Moet Hennessy too. In US on much smaller scale Willamette Valley
Vineyards &
Scheid are on NASDAQ I think. Beringers was publicly traded, but I think
someone took them over?

They were bought by Foster's, an Australian beer and wine company.

Willamette Valley Vineyards in Oregon, I believe is still publicly traded.

They sold off pretty much all their alcohol interests about a year ago
to Pernod-Ricard, a decision that was certainly welcomed in Speyside.

Beringer was bought by Foster's group in 2000.
Domestically, you're limited to Mondavi, Chalone, and Willamette
Valley Vineyards. Scheid isn't really a wine company per se, more of
a vineyard owner or supplier to the wine industry.

Canada is largely dominated by Vincor, in Chile you have Concha y Toro
(which trades on The NYSE). In Australia, BRL-Hardy was bought last
year by Constellation and you still have Evans & Tate, McGuigan
Simeon, Peter Lehman (although now owned by the Hess Collection), and
Southcorp.

Most companies diversify to have investments in more than just wine,
which is why Mondavi, Chalone, and Southcorp are hurting, since unlike
Fosters, they don't have another product line to rely on.

True. And in the case of Foster's, it's the wine business that's
hurting them right now. Beer seems to be selling well. I don't know
much about the beer business, but my sense is that it has no
counterpart to an oversupply of grapes, which is one of the main
reasons the wine business is hurting just about everywhere today.

To quote from the Pernod Ricard website http://www.pernod-ricard.com/

"Via its subsidiaries, Pernod Ricard produces and distributes
prestigious brands in many categories of spirits and wines.
The key brands are : Chivas Regal, Clan Campbell, Havana Club, Jacob's
Creek, Jameson, Martell, Pastis 51, Ricard,Ramazzotti, Seagram's Gin,
The Glenlivet, Wild Turkey.

The other strategic brands are : Royal Salute, Bushmills, Olmeca,
Wyborowa, Four Roses, Sandeman.

The key local brands are : 100 Pipers, Larios, Suze, Ararat, Royal
Stag, Dita, Montilla, Becherovka, Blenders Pride, Something Special."

Further down the website is a report of its refinancing of various
loans used for its acquisition of Seagram in March 2001 and a search
on the press release part shows

"Paris, December 19, 2000 Pernod Ricard announces that it has, jointly
with Diageo, signed an agreement to purchase the Seagram Spirits and
Wine business from Vivendi Universal for US$ 8.15 billion in cash, on
a debt free basis. Pernod Ricard will contribute approximately US$
3.15 billion (? 3.7 billion) or 38.6% of the total purchase price.
Pernod Ricard and Diageo will split the Seagram business based on the
Framework Agreement signed between the two companies as previously
announced."

According to the Diageo website http://www.diageo.com

"The acquisition will result in Diageo obtaining Crown Royal and VO
Canadian whiskies, Captain Morgan rum and 7 Crown American whiskey.
Each have leading positions in their categories and Diageo will gain
the scale to achieve significant distribution efficiencies. Diageo is
also acquiring wine businesses, principally Sterling Vineyards, which
will be an important step in building a value-creating wine business.

Diageo is also obtaining several brands with attractive local
positions. These include Cacique rum in Venezuela and Spain, Windsor
Premier Scotch whisky in Korea and Myers, a premium rum in the US."

Unsure if this has anything to do with this, but an ITB acquaintance warned me
last month to be wary of deals in NJ on Seagrams-imported wines from older
recent vintages. Apparently there is a large amount (mostly '97-'99 vintage
French) on the wholesale auction block, with very questionable storage history.

There are a number of companies that own wineries as part of their
larger holdings.

Allied Domecq. From their website, "Our wines include Clos du Bois,
Callaway Coastal, Atlas Peak, William Hill Winery, Buena Vista from
California, Bodegas Balbi from Argentina, Marques de Arienzo from Rioja,
Spain and Montana from New Zealand. Our champagne brands include Mumm
and Perrier-Jouët." http://www.allieddomecq.com/brands/brands-fr.asp?Page=3

Fortune Brands. Again, wine is a small part of their business, but they
own Geyser Peak, Canyon Road, and Wild Horse.
