10. 코카콜라가 와인이었다?

 

Today, Coca-Cola ranks as the single most popular soft drink in the world.

 - rank as: ...의 부류에 들다, ...로 평가되다/평가받다, ...에 상당하다

 - soft drink: 알코올이 없는 청량음료

 

But Coca-Cola was invented in a drugstore? John Pemberton, a pharmacist in Columbus, Georgia, originally invented an alcoholic "French wine coca," but due to temperance legislation in 1886, he modified it to create a non-alcoholic Coca-Cola.

 - coca: 코카나무

 - temperance: 금주(禁酒), 절제/자제(moderation)

 

The public loved it, believing that the carbonated water was a health tonic.

 - carbonated = fizzy: 탄산이 든

 - tonic: 토닉(탄산음료), 강장제, 활력소, 화장수

 

Pemberton, however, did not end up making much money from his fizzy beverage.

 - end up V-ing: 결국 ...한 처지에 처하게 되다

 - fizzy = sparkling: 거품이 나는

 

Asa Candler, an American tycoon, accumulated a small fortune after buying a portion of the Coca-Cola Company from the inventor.

 - tycoon: 재계의 거물

 - accumulate fortune: 재산을 쌓다/모으다/축적하다, 축재(蓄財)하다

 

He advertised it in newspapers and even gave away free-drink coupons to aggressively promote the drink.

 - give away: 거저 주자, 나누어 주다

 

The company was later sold to Atlanta businessman Ernest Woodruff, but it was Woodruff's son who would have the greatest influence on Coca-Cola's rise to global dominance.
