    The author spent both too much and not enough time on that.

    Wait, a glass of wine is considered 200 mL?! Wow, we Americans are slouching!

    Why are Bud and Bud Light listed as two seperate brands? They don't seem to be doing that with the wines...

    a good read, but most of the things one there seem to be fairly common knowledge (or just might be that i research more than other people- and this graphic had combined most of it.) still learnt a thing or two though. Thank you for sharing

    Quite a few false, or atleast misleading things in there, it seems to me.

    That's was Anheuser-Busch-InBev asked when Snow was first reported to be the world's largest beer brand, in this Reuters story from 2009 - China's Snow jumps Bud Light to be world No 1

    Sadly, I must dismiss the entire infographic as the creator clearly did not do enough research.

    How can you note all of those interesting points and completely disregard Three Penis Wine?

    That's where yellow snow comes from. But, don't eat it.

    Indeed. As per this presentation from SABMiller, the Snow brand is made up of 5 separate products, divided between five different intended price points (as percentage of the total volume).
    Crystal Draft (1%)
    Snow Draft (4%)
    Brave The World (33%)
    Window (27%)
    Opera Mask (35%)


    If AB-Inbev was allowed to use a similar way of measuring market share, they'd have a good chance of beating Snow. Just because SABMiller is less than specific about the differences between the brands doesn't make them into the same brand (or conversely, make Budweiser and Bud Light into different brands/brand families).
