1. Corona – $5.822 billion
               2. Heineken – $5.646 billion
               3. Budweiser – $4.79 billion
               4. Victoria – $4.038 billion
               5. Bud Light – $3.952 billion
               6. Snow – $3.445 billion
               7. Modelo – $3.365 billion
               8. Kirin – $2.853 billion
               9. Miller Lite – $2.85 billion
               10. Asahi – $2.848 billion

               Only Budweiser makes the list twice, despite both Budweiser and Bud Light sales
               going backwards. To our Australian members, no Victoria is not VB, it is a Mexican
               company. I admit to having had to look it up, as I also did with Snow, which is
               Chinese but 40% owned by Heineken. It’s a very entwined world we live in.

               =====================================






               In miNiZ128 I showed you a bottle of Tequila made for Tesla Motors. The picture shows
               three bottles from Train Winery from, you guessed it, China. I have included the Tesla bottle
               for comparison.
















               There is, of course, just a passing resemblance!!! The Train bottles are filled with a rosé, an
               XO, 7yo brandy and an icewine. As with Tesla, no minis I know of.

               On the winery’s WeChat public account, the brand positions its products as “similar” to what
               Tesla has to offer.

               All I can say is it’s lucky for them that Elon Musk is a very busy man.
