🔥 Tendances

• D'après la Wine and Spirit Trade Association, la Covid aurait causé près de £1 milliard de pertes de revenus pour les distillateurs britanniques - Source

The WSTA said today that the latest figures show gin sales in the UK dropped almost £1 billion in value - from £2.7 billion in 2019 to £1.9billion in 2020. The fall was caused by the shuttered on-trade during the pandemic, the trade organisation said.

• Les RTD à base de spiritueux (vs ceux à base de malt) connaissent une forte croissance aux USA - Source

Malt-based RTDs dominate the US RTD market with a 91% share by volume. However, spirit-based RTDs are increasingly entering the landscape – in fact, spirit-based RTDs in the US grew by 53% in 2021, around double the growth of the wine- and malt-based categories.
