How Macduff’s Ryelaw Whisky Is Set to Captivate Asia: Unveiling the Targeted Expansion #MacduffWhisky #RyelawWhisky #AsiaExpansion #WhiskyMarket #SpiritsIndustry #WhiskyLovers #MarketGrowth #PremiumWhisky #GlobalExpansion #IndustryTrends

The "Vodka Belt" refers to a group of countries in Northern and Eastern Europe where vodka has historically been the dominant alcoholic beverage, both in terms of production and consumption. This region includes nations such as Russia, Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), Finland, Sweden, and Belarus. The cool climate of these countries made the cultivation of grapes difficult, leading to the rise of grain-based spirits like vodka. In the Vodka Belt, vodka is not just a drink but a cultural symbol, deeply integrated into social traditions, celebrations, and even national identity. Over the years, vodka from this region has gained international recognition for its quality and purity, with many of the world’s leading vodka brands originating from these countries.

Join us in a global toast! World Malbec Day 2024 - April 17, 2024 🇦🇷 🍷 www.malbecworldday.com The 14th edition of #MWD is here: MALBEC ARGENTINO - BETTER FOR THE WORLD Since 2011, we have celebrated Malbec World Day on April 17. In Argentina and across the industry it offers an opportunity to appreciate how Argentine Malbec has risen to become a global icon of Argentine viticulture. Thanks to the hard work of Argentine producers and winemakers, Malbec has evolved over the years and is now BETTER THAN EVER: Argentina is producing the best Malbecs in history. Now that Malbec’s consistency and quality of expression are well-proven, the industry has its sights set on the future and is WORKING TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD. Because one cannot enjoy the success of today without thinking about tomorrow. The challenge is to ensure that Malbec can maintain its characteristic elegance and versatility without sacrificing anything along the way. Argentine producers are increasingly mindful of the underlying experiences and changing values that influence how consumers choose their wine; decisions that go beyond Malbec to encompass concerns related to wellbeing, health and the environment. The world has changed. It is incumbent upon us to reconsider our existing values and structures and explore new ways of thinking and feeling. Argentine viticulture has firmly embraced the concept of sustainability: protecting and generating a positive impact on our environment, society and economy. Many Argentine wineries have made great strides in reducing their water footprints, adopting carbon neutral policies, improving their waste management and energy use, and reducing the weight of their bottles, all thanks to the success of Malbec. It is due to all these efforts that we are proud to say that Malbec Argentino is “BETTER FOR THE WORLD”, part of a focus on building a future in which the environment, society, culture and winemaking exist in balance and harmony. This is the path to follow if Argentine Malbec is going to continue to excel year on year and be the best that it can be.

The recent launch of the Singha Highball is one product that really stood out to me for a variety of reasons. The highball is a category of RTD's that began their career in Japan but over the course of the last 5+ years have truly begun to pick up momentum throughout APAC. What I found particularly interesting on this launch is it was done in Korea which is one of fastest growing Highball markets but is a market where Singha itself has a very small footprint. Superficially one would have expected Singha to launch in Thailand given their near 70% market share of beer, brand awareness and their massive network for sales. The other bit I found particularly interesting about this launch is that the "branding" part of this Highball is the soda brand (Singha) and not a distillate brand which is more often the case. Examples of that would include highballs bearing the badge of Jim Beam, Yamazaki, Wild Turkey and Cutwater. It will be interesting to see how Korea and then future markets in Asia (presumably) react to the Singha Highball and it will also be interesting to see if we see other mixer / soda makers like Schweppes, Fever Tree, Fentimans or even a Perrier get into the race.
