Moet Hennesy to offer Belvedere and Chopin vodkas as luxury brands

French company Moet Hennesy, one of the world's largest distributors of luxury goods, will begin offering two top-shelf Polish vodka brands, Belvedere and Chopin, as part of a cooperative agreement with the American firm Millenium Import Co. Philipe Pascal, president of the French company, said "Moet Hennesy will work on building up the position of Belvedere and Chopin as some of the most luxurious alcohol brands in the world." Executives at the vodka producers are very excited about the news. Jerzy Wodz, the administrator of Polmos Zyrardow which makes Belvedere, said that this the first time in the history of the spirit industry that Polish products stand a real chance of becoming not only prestigious, but also global brands. Moet Hennesy is a part of Paris-based Moet Hennesy Louis Vuitton (LVMH), which specializes in luxury spirits, cosmetics, clothing and leather products. (Rzeczpospolita, p.B4) J.K.
