Drinks are easy to love, most people count wine as their favourite alcoholic drink (WSTA2017).<\/p>\n
Premium spirits are growing like crazy and craft beer is growing madly, but it has only 6% market penetration.<\/p>\n
So what is the business scene like for drinks?<\/p>\n
Many come to the industry with an idea that it is some sort of retirement role, where you rock into the office every once in a while and put a light hand on the tiller and the results will happen because we have great product.<\/p>\n
Believe me if it is retirement you are looking for then go buy a residential home!<\/p>\n
The UK drinks market is where global reputations are won…and lost. The UK market is the hub of the world’s wine trade and still exports more spirits than any other country on the planet.<\/p>\n
