Abstract
The story of Montreal businessman Sam Bronfman (1889-1971) who made drinking whisky respectable in the United States and built Distillers Corporation Limited and its signature brand, Seagram, into a worldwide empire in wine and spirits, only to see the company gradually transformed in the 1990s by the founder's grandson, Edgar Bronfman Jr., into a sprawling media empire that was disastrously absorbed into the French entertainment conglomerate Vivendi. This debacle cost the Bronfman family $3 billion in losses.
