This document discusses trends in the alcohol industry. It outlines that consumption of spirits is primarily a social activity. While overall consumption has declined slightly, certain vintage ingredients like bitters are seeing renewed interest as bartenders experiment with classic cocktail recipes. The rise of molecular mixology shows that customers want hands-on experiences and perfect homemade drinks. Finally, the growth of micro-distilleries producing small batches of local spirits satisfies demands for artisanal quality over mass-produced quantities. These trends relate to Seagram's Vodka and opportunities to emphasize its vintage qualities, local sourcing, and use in creative homemade cocktails.
