2021 brought about growth in RTDs in Spain, with total current value and volume sales recovering to near the pre-pandemic levels seen in 2019. This was prompted by the rebound in on-trade sales, whilst off-trade sales also remained strong, albeit slightly lower than in 2020.
A wide range of new products entered the Spanish market in 2021, building on those that entered the market in 2020. This both demonstrates the ongoing innovation in this category, and highlights the possibility for future growth.

RTDs
RTD stands for ‘ready-to-drink’. Other terms which may be used for these products are FABs, alcopops and premixes. The RTDs sector is the aggregation of malt-, wine-, spirit- and other types of premixed drinks. These drinks usually have an alcohol content of around 5% but this can reach as high as 10% ABV. Premixes containing a high percentage of alcohol of around 15%+ combined with juice or any other soft drink are included here. RTDs are usually marketed as products to be drunk neat, with ice, or as a cocktail ingredient. Fruit-flavoured, vodka-based spirits with an alcohol content of between 16-21% are classified here. Examples: Alizé, Ursus Roter, Berentzen Fruchtige, Kleiner Feigling.
