The World’s Most Powerful Spirits & Wine Brands, 2015 1 INTRODUctION We’ve witnessed brands scale the ranks and others fade into obscurity, but after 10 years of The Power 100, we can say without a doubt, there is never a dull moment in the wine and spirits industry! The last decade has seen the industry undergo major consolidation, creating a number of drinks brand powerhouses. The acquisition of Allied Domeq by Pernod Ricard and Fortune Brands in 2005 was one of the first in a spate of high-profile acquisitions, which has led to the more streamlined market we see today. The likes of Diageo, Pernod Ricard, Bacardi Martini and Beam Suntory dominate the market with a portfolio of mega-brands covering each sector. To honour 10 years of The Power 100, we have celebrated the decade’s high-flyers, analysed the decline of some brands, and reviewed our data to crown one brand the success story of the decade.

  • 3. the Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust by Max Beer
    Curr Psychol DOI 10.1007/s12144-007-9017-3 The Montreal Jewish Community and the Holocaust Max Beer # Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2007 Abstract In 1993 Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in Germany. At the same time, in Canada in general and in Montreal in particular, anti-Semitism was becoming more widespread. The Canadian Jewish Congress, as a result of the growing tension in Europe and the increase in anti-Semitism at home, was reborn in 1934 and became the authoritative voice of Canadian Jewry. During World War II the Nazis embarked on a campaign that resulted in the systematic extermination of millions of Jews. This article focuses on the Montreal Jewish community, its leadership, and their response to the fate of European Jewry. The study pays particular attention to the Canadian Jewish Congress which influenced the outlook of the community and its subsequent actions. As the war progressed, loyalty to Canada and support for the war effort became the overriding issues for the community and the leadership and concern for their European brethren faded into the background. Keywords Anti-Semitism . Holocaust . Montreal . Quebec . Canada . Bronfman . Uptowners . Downtowners . Congress . Caiserman The 1930s, with the devastating worldwide economic depression and the emergence of Nazism in Germany, set the stage for a war that would result in tens of millions of deaths and the mass extermination of Europe’s Jews. The decade marked a complete stoppage of Jewish immigration to Canada, an increase in anti-Semitism on the North American continent, and the revival of the Canadian Jewish Congress as the voice for the Canadian Jewish community.

  • Profiles in Family Philanthropy
    Profiles in Family Philanthropy Each month, Family Giving News celebrates the legacies and philanthropic contributions of family philanthropists all over the world by highlighting the story of one philanthropic donor or family in "Profiles in Family Philanthropy." Profiles 2007 MAY/JUNE 2007: The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies Charles Bronfman returned from a trustees' meeting of the Mount Sinai Medical Center with an idea. Bronfman, Chairman and co-founder with his late wife Andrea of the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, had heard of the Medical Center's efforts in the emerging field of personalized medicine. Dr. Jeffrey Solomon, President of the Philanthropies, recalls, “He came back to the foundation and said, ‘Would we do some homework in this arena?’” The result of that homework: a $12.5-million grant to Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York to establish the Charles Bronfman Institute for Personalized Medicine. Called a "leadership gift," the grant aims to support a new approach to medicine which utilizes information about a person's genetic make-up to more effectively detect, treat, and prevent disease. Like many of the Philanthropies' efforts, it represents a significant investment in "the next generation," in this case, the next generation of genetics research and genomics-based medicine. In Memoriam: Andrea Bronfman Andrea Morrison Bronfman, co-chair of The Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies, tragically passed away January 23, 2006 as the result of injuries sustained in a traffic accident. Through her leadership at ACBP and numerous other philanthropic endeavors, she was a shaping force in initiatives aimed at strengthening Jewish identity worldwide, with a focus on Jewish youth, the arts and education.
