The non-alcoholic drinks industry has completely transformed over the past five years. • Non-alcoholic drinks sales were up 23% last year • A record 19% of adults participated in Dry January in 2024 • More than 95% of British pubs offer a low-alcohol or no-alcohol beer This comes as people around the world are starting to think deeply about their relationship with alcohol. The data actually shows that young people have been drinking less alcohol in recent years: • 26% of Brits between the age of 18 and 24 abstain from alcohol completely • 44% of people in the same age group say that they drink low- and no-alcoholic drinks, up from 31% in 2021 • 18-24-year-olds have been called the U.K.'s "most sober age group” And yet... people still appreciate the important ritual of meeting to have a drink. We’ve been doing it for centuries, and we still want to feel included even if we’re choosing not to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic cocktails are playing a key role in this societal awakening around alcohol, and I have a feeling it’s just the beginning. — Repost this if this was valuable.

Guinness 0.0 has surpassed Heineken 0.0 to claim the title of the UK’s biggest alcohol-free beer. Guinness 0.0 has seen its off-trade sales rise by nearly 110% to £33.2m in the past year [NIQ 52 w/e 13 July 2024]. Over the same period, Heineken 0.0 sales have only climbed by 4.2%, to £28.3m. According to NIQ, Guinness 0.0 overtook Heineken 0.0 at the end of March, based on 52-week rolling data, and has maintained its lead since. Rounding out the top five alcohol-free beers in UK retail are Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0%, Corona Cero and Beck’s Blue. A focus on product quality, marketing activations around rugby’s Six Nations Championship and Diageo’s work with retailers to grow the awareness of alcohol-free had contributed to Guinness 0.0’s rise. #beer #guinness #zeroalcohol #alcohol #beverages #diageo #heineken Lars Jensen Jean Noel Ortal Paul Villis Carol Dunne Gwyneth Kelly Michelle Osagie Gilles Halotel Ian Chesworth Erika Minaguchi Francois Sonneville Bourcard Nesin Jim Watson Stephen Rannekleiv Andy Crawford Mark Gallo John Craven Nuno Teles Stephen.

Big news, PlugIn People is live! For years it’s been an ambition of mine to attract talented graduates into the FMCG industry. When I was a Sales Director, I would look for the smartest, hungriest and highest performing grads, but it was tough to find them. The truth is, there are loads of talented grads out there (they are that talented it’s scary for us oldies!), but FMCG companies can’t find them. Enter PlugIn People.. At PlugIn People we pick the best grads, train them up and support them along their journey to find a job in the best industry going (of course I would say that....) We partner up with brilliant brands so the candidates know they are going in to a good environment to develop. Everyone wins! We also provide ongoing mentorship once they have secured the job if they need it. Please share, get in touch, comment or tag if you or someone you know would benefit from our services - brands or graduates welcome! Email us at [email protected] or [email protected] (Adam Priest) to chat more. Oh, or DM me. I love a DM. Check us out at www.plugin-people.com Let's go! (Brand mates, get in touch!)
