PROFILE |
 |
Guinness/UDV's presence in the alcoholic beverage world is as heavy as its well-known dense stout. The company was formed when parent Diageo combined its two beverage units, Guinness Ltd. (formed in 1997 by the Grand Metropolitan and Guinness merger) and United Distillers & Vintners or UDV (the world's #1 wine and spirits seller) in mid-2000. Guinness-brewed lagers include Harp, Red Stripe, and Kaliber (alcohol-free); it also brews Kilkenny Irish beer, Smithwick's ale, and Dragon stout. Guinness Stout -- first brewed in Ireland in 1759 -- is sold in 150 countries. UDV markets more than 200 spirits brands (Johnnie Walker Red Label, Bailey's, and Smirnoff, among others) and wine in over 200 countries.
