We'd like to see wine as offering a sort of 'road map' for how coffee may be able to develop as a specialty beverage category. There are clear parallels but, of course, there are many distinct differences also. It's also interesting to look at how other categories - such as bottled water - have also established themselves as a premium product (and surely with minimal discernable differences between products). (By the way, your PowerPoint upload doesn't seem to view correctly if I follow the link you posted - can you check that at your end?) Hey, Steve
