How many apple macs or ipods does someone need compared with bottles of wine? Promiscuity rather than loyalty is quite standard with many drinks products as easy availability for the next fix plays strong. (as Sterling Camden shows in the first comment to this post) It's quite similar to what Chris was saying about Harley Davidson over at his blog <a href="http://chrislawer.blogs.com/chris_lawer/2006/07/market_and_nonm_1.html" rel="nofollow">http://chrislawer.blogs.com/chris_lawer/2006/07/market_and_nonm_1.html</a> Some drinks brands, especially spirits, escape this weakness. They release special editions and they sell out; they sell them direct to a loyal group and these editions never hit the supermarkets but they do enhance the buzz and supermaket bulk editions of the same brand. I s'pose making things both practical, real but very different is the route? in my view drinks companies and computer companies (apple) have a few points of difference relevant to your comparison.

I even got other people to buy it. Tasted great and I'll definitely be buying more. Funny how I wouldn't have known about it if I didn't read your blog or if I hadn't recognized your cartoons on the display (I was walking towards the cash register with another bottle).
