  "account": "Munich - Times. The venerable spirit producer Berentzen finds itself in the midst of a potential sale to the United States. The company based in the German state of Lower Saxony confirmed Wednesday evening that negotiations were underway regarding an acquisition bid from alcohol manufacturer Sazerac of New Orleans. Berentzen Group AG is valued at approximately 33 million euros on the stock exchange. On Wednesday, the nearly fully delisted share rose by seven percent following a report from Bloomberg news agency about American interest. Berentzen is suffering from declining demand for alcoholic beverages. Spirits like the namesake apple grain, Puschkin vodka, or Bommerlunder now make up only just under two-thirds of the group's 163 million euro turnover. The rest consists of mineral water, juice, and lemonade. Berentzen returned to profit with 2.4 million euros in 2025.",
