This is an exciting episode! We’ve just launched a major, national study into the drinking preferences of Millennials and Gen Zs. Here, we reveal the results of that report, from how much these audiences spend on wine, to their evolving relationships with soft drinks, canned cocktails, and spirits. More importantly, we have fresh insights into why Millennials and Gen Zs make the drink choices they do.

This is groundbreaking research that answers the key questions that are currently gripping the beverage alcohol industry — from why wine consumption is falling to what younger audiences think about alcohol and health.

Five things we discuss:

We partnered on the study with Roger Brooks, founder of Research and Marketing Strategies, a market research consultancy to organizations in technology and alcohol. Join us — Roger, Erica and Felicity — as we take a deep dive into the findings and emerge with answers and opportunities for people working in the drinks industry — from wine, beer and spirits to soft drinks and seltzers.

If you work in drinks and you only listen to one podcast this year, make it this one. Because by the end of the episode, you’ll have the answer to this big question: Where have all the younger drinkers gone?

The report is available for purchase and download at Research & Markets: https://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/5892638/millennials-gen-z-comprehensive-study-alcohol
