Drinks Trade’s latest issue is out now, featuring the annual Hottest 100 Brands across all sectors, from beer to wine, spirits and apertifs.
Among the high performers featured are Canadian Club Dry, which was the largest contributor to 2018 spirits category growth; Tattinger, which was the fastest growing champagne; and Yenda Crisp, which was the DT panel’s massive growth pick, up 2143%.
“We believe this list will give you some insight into what has performed well over the past 12 months including what is tipped to continue selling well in your stores in 2019,” notes publisher Ashley Pini.
“So how did we come up with the Hottest 100 brands for 2019? I’d love to say simple, but of course there’s plenty of crystal balling involved.
“We started with raw data, turned it upside down, inside out, and came back to the brands that added the most growth, and ultimately dollars, to your businesses over the last year. That gave us the ‘rear view mirror’.
“To gain an understanding of what’s on the horizon we turned to the professionals. In partnership with the team at IRI, and the buyers from leading Banner Groups, here is a list we hope you find useful – and sometimes eye opening – to help you build sales in your stores.”
