The story so far

As innovation cycles accelerate ever further, alcohol is hesitantly adopting a post-traditionalist direction. Heritage, nostalgia-tinged launches, premiumisation and flavour sophistication remain relevant but they also evolve.

From grape stories to great stories

A transition away from intimidating and perplexing technical, varietal or jargon-filled descriptors and towards narrative-orientated offerings will become key.

Soda’s hard side, spirits’ softer side

Acknowledging drinkers’ sweeter palates on the one hand and their demand for healthier alternatives on the other will lead to products focusing on decadent indulgence and non-alcoholic alternatives catering to a wide range of occasions.

Cannabis cocktail

Cannabis remains the proverbial big “green” elephant in the room. Its gradual legalisation in the US and Canada has the potential to massively disrupt the alcoholic drinks industry and a symbiotic instead of an antagonistic relationship is the best strategy moving forward.

Hometainment and the rise of internet of drinks

Intoxicating technological developments offering personalisation, mixing, blending, convenience, experimentation and connectivity opportunities will change the industry’s occasions, positionings and drinking rituals.

Drinking in a virtual universe

From video games universes to the ascent of VR and AR technologies, the old binary focus on off- and on-trade appears to be obsolete. Branding and experiential marketing campaigns will shift beyond the purely physical realm.
