 | | Diageo plc, the largest multinational beer, wine and spirits company in the world, listed on the London Stock Exchange was formed in 1997 from the merger of Guinness plc and Grand Metropolitan plc. | | | In December 2003 Diageo provoked controversy over its decision to change its Cardhu brand Scotch whisky from a single malt to a vatted malt (also known as a pure malt) whilst retaining the original name and bottle style. | | | In 2002 Diageo sold the Burger King fast food restaurant chain worldwide to a consortium led by US firm Texas Pacific for $1.5bn. |

| | New Spirit at Diageo |
| | Diageo may be the 800-pound gorilla when it comes to spirits, but it's a lesser force when it comes to beer, at least in the U.S. — and in the U.S., beer is king. | | | While Diageo doesn't enjoy the distribution advantages with beer that it does with spirits, the company is looking to gain more of a foothold for its Guinness and Red Stripe brands. | | | Diageo's brands such as Guinness, Harp, Red Stripe (and formerly Bass) accounted for 1.7 million barrels last year, a fraction of leader Anheuser-Busch's 102.5 million barrels, per industry newsletter Beer Marketer's Insights. |
