** French wines and spirits producers Pernod Ricard PERP.PA, Remy Cointreau RCOP.PA, and Italy's Davide Campari Milano CPRI.MI rise between 2%-5.1%
** Meanwhile British peer Diageo DGE.L edges up 0.2%, as investors are cautious after the U.S. data shows continuation of a "weak market", and a change to quarterly reporting makes comparisons more difficult, Morgan Stanley says in a note
