"Diageo is remaining tight-lipped over rumours it is being eyed for acquisition by Brazil's richest man:
Reports circulated over the weekend that Jorge Paulo Lemann is considering making an offer to takeover the world's largest drinks group through his private equity firm"?...

He, he, he - sorry I can't help but laugh.
We are now complaining about stiff corporate mentality and irrational decisions by Diego current management; just wait till Brazilian "wonder boys"? starts planning new directions for Scottish single malt.
I know that those are just rumors but I can't stop laughing: |

If this is true, it would be a major shake-up in the whisky industry to say the least.

Knowing Brazilian business trends, I don't believe that there is a great desire for this kind of takeover. |

| Diageo is ripe for a takeover. Not been performing at all well since the last CEO Walsh left. Share price has languished and compared to other drink manufacturers has not seen sales increase in developing markets. I can't see this deal happening but this is probably the prelude to a another player coming - an InBev or similar. |
