Australia's Franklin Estates is preparing to release wine in cans to the US, UK and Japanese markets. While there are many practical benefits to the idea - no spoilage, no need for bottle-openers, no need to finish a bottle - its success depends on good weather, and consumers being prepared accept the unorthodox notion of wine in ring-pull cans.

In the last few years, San Miguel has been expanding geographically while also trying to reduce its reliance on the alcoholic drinks market. However, the company will need to inject a significant amount of cash into the Berri brand if it is to generate a decent return on investment in the overseas markets.

Foster's and Southcorp [SRP.AX] would fit together well. The company would have Australia's strongest wine brands, a good geographical sales spread, and the scale to compete with Constellation and Diageo. However, there would be little logic in Foster's retaining its low-growth, largely domestic beer business post-acquisition: a move to focus purely on wine would be a good move going forward.

Southcorp has opposed Foster's [FGL.AX] current bid, saying that it undervalues the company, while Foster's says that the new plan overvalues Southcorp. Neither position is particularly surprising. However, the announcement keeps the deal alive, and gives Foster's a reason to increase its offer. It would be wise to do so, given the importance of Southcorp to its future in the wine business.

San Miguel, most famous for its leading beer brand, has been expanding aggressively outside this sphere in recent years, and it has now won a lengthy battle with Fonterra to get its hands on National Foods, the largest Australian dairy company. While clinching the deal is good news for San Miguel, it is an ambitious step that is more of a gamble than previous acquisitions.

Foster's has posted an encouraging increase in its FY2005 profits, suggesting its integration of Southcorp is proceeding smoothly. Southcorp is set to play a critical role in the group's future development, giving it essential global reach in the wine market. Though renowned for brewing 'Australia's famous beer', we may now have to consider Foster's equally as a vintner.

Lion Nathan has made a bid for Coopers Brewery, offering A$260 a share. Although some analysts believe Lion Nathan is offering too much, the acquisition would help the company offset stalling growth in the Australian standard lager market by furnishing it with a lucrative stock of high-end specialty beers.
