Description Industry & Competitors

The business has done terribly in the face of competition from vodka distilleries over the last five years, with a shift in consumer tastes toward gin impacting on demand for vodka. Tumbling on-trade demand is believed to have played a substantial role in the current year's severe decrease. During the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, frequent government-imposed closures of on-trade facilities are projected to have considerably dragged on income, culminating in a 19.5% drop in 2020-21. However, the removal of trading restrictions is likely to boost demand for vodka in the on-trade sector, resulting in an 11.5% increase in sales to £44.7 million this year. Originating in Eastern Europe, Vodka is the most successfully sold spirit in the world today.

3. We expect Christmas to be a period of much higher sales.
4. We expect to launch at least two new vodkas in the first 12 months.
