BBC News | BUSINESS | Viennese in a froth over Starbucks (#)

  „Low Graphics Saturday, 8 December, 2001, 13:04 GMT Viennese in a froth over Starbucks Vienna's first Starbucks: no-smoking allowed The American coffee chain Starbucks has opened its first branch in Vienna, the historic heartland of European coffee culture.

  „They arrived at 0930 and were recognised by a man who brought them coffee instead of the traditional tea. He remembered the lieutenant from three weeks ago when he gave the man a pound of American coffee called "Seattle's Best".
