Abstract
About this report
The recession is driving some subtle, and not so subtle, changes in consumer behavior. Indeed, in virtually every category of consumer packaged goods, evidence of lifestyle change and adaptive behavior can be observed. The category of spirits is no exception. Not only has the amount of alcohol being consumed on an annual basis changed considerably during the recession, it is also evident that consumers are increasingly consuming at home rather than in bars and restaurants. Given that a significant change has occurred and is under way, it is important to closely examine trends in consumer lifestyles and spirits usage in order to optimize marketing and product development efforts.
