[Data-modeling] Tweaks to the food domain

[Tom Morris]

I think the separation is useful, but are we talking about
distilleries or companies or brands.  Leaving aside for a minute the
fact that purists might not consider blended "whisky" to be whiskys at
all, have a look at http://www.scotlandwhisky.com/about/brands.  The
Johnnie Walker brand's "spiritual home" is the Cardhu distillery, but
Ballantine has no identifiable distillery associated with it.  Neither
of them actually distill any spirits.
