Shoppers discover great festive spirit at Tesco


26 Dec 2016
Brits are going premium with their festive spirits this season. In the lead up to New Year's Eve, Tesco has seen an increasing number of customers who are treating themselves to top of the range branded and own-label liquors.
And they are not solely being tempted by familiar brands, they are also looking for high quality and exceptional value as well.
Amongst the most popular drinks in the range is the supermarket’s award-winning Tesco finest* French Grain Vodka.
It’s been described by the Master Distiller for the  producer as ’Martini Grade’, and the top notch and exceptionally smooth spirit has seen a 250 per cent growth in the last year alone.
It won a silver medal at the 2016 International Wine and Spirit Competition and has been compared favourably to top premium brands - but is available at half the price and can be snapped up for just £18 until January 9.
Across the festive season, Tesco has seen a growth in the demand for its premium range spirits, which includes gin, vodka, single malt, brandy and rum, by over 30 per cent compared with the same period last year.
Tesco senior spirits buyer Andrew Hargreaves said: “Brits are becoming thrifty connoisseurs when it comes to enjoying spirits - they want the premium quality drinks but without the price tag to match.
“We are seeing customers treating themselves to award-winning own label drinks, so they can enjoy the festive season in high spirits without breaking the bank.
“We really are witnessing a golden age for upmarket liquors with many of them being produced right here in the UK.”
Tesco’s finest Aromatic Gin has also soared by 185 per cent in the last year and is currently on sale for £14.
Among Tesco own label spirits which have won awards are:
Tesco Calvados Pays d’Auge VSOP 70cl – Gold winner at 2016 International Wine and Spirits Competition – currently on sale for £15.50
Tesco Armagnac VSOP 70cl – Silver Outstanding prize at 2016 International Wine and Spirits Competition – currently on sale for £22
Tesco finest* Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 12 YO 70cl – Silver Outstanding prize at 2016 International Wine and Spirits Competition – Currently on sale for £25
Tesco finest* Sloe Gin 70cl – Bronze at 2016 International Wine and Spirits Competition – Currently on sale for £14
Tesco finest* French Grain Vodka is currently on sale for £18.
The premium drinks boom follows the recent UK cocktail revival and TV programmes such as Mad Men which have inspired shoppers to treat themselves to better quality spirits to drink at home.

‘Groundhog Day’ Fevertree still has more room to fizz

Leading technical analyst Zak Mir tells the Proactive Investors Bulletin Board that the premium drinks mixers brand Fevertree Drinks PLC (LON:FEVR) still has plenty of upside.
“The technicals reflect the positive situation,” Mir explains.
“A gap above the 50-day moving average is one of my favourite signals and you had one in July and November 2015, you’ve had them again in May and November last year – it’s like Groundhog Day.”
“I’m looking for a £12.60 or £12.70 target there which is the top of the trend channel.”

confess i top-sliced 25% from my sipp holding about a week ago, albeit with some reluctance

sensible. A not so good set of results and the sp could lose 30% +. Just need a takeover . :-))

And gin sales have gone through the roof and that is good quality gin, that I hope required a top quality mixer.

you might like to note that sipsmith gin was taken over in mid december by beam suntory, so acquiring FEVR would look a natural progression

Never heard of them. Just done some research and the company was only founded in 2009.

never heard of whom? ..... sipsmith? .... just one of a number boutique gin distillers

Not my drink. :-)) Alcohol free since Jan 1 :-))

I've held DIS for a couple of years in the hope that they will join the "move to quality"...... still waiting.....

You never know skinny. :-))

DIS - their profits are pathetic

There is no profit, I don't think. Skinny did say still waiting.

their t/o is tragic too ..... even our tinpot company turns over loads more in a single month that DIS does in 6

Fevertree Drinks plc ("Fever-Tree")



Trading update



Fever-Tree, the world's leading supplier of premium carbonated mixers today announces its trading update for the year ended 31 December 2016.



The Board is pleased to announce that the strong growth achieved in the first half of the year accelerated in the second half of 2016. It is expected that sales in the second half will be ahead of the prior year period by 75%. As a result, full year revenue is expected to be circa £102.2 million, reflecting growth of 73% on 2015.



Sales in the UK performed exceptionally well in the second half of 2016 and full year revenue is expected to be circa 118% ahead of 2015. Sales performance has been strong in both the On-Trade and Off-Trade channels, with particularly notable growth achieved over the Christmas period against a very strong prior year comparator.



Sales in Continental Europe performed well in the second half of 2016, and it is anticipated that full year revenue will be circa 39% ahead of 2015.



In the USA, strong revenue growth also continued during the second half of 2016, and as a result, full year revenue for the territory is expected to be circa 55% ahead of 2015.



Rest of World sales growth accelerated in the second half of 2016 and full year revenue is expected to be circa 88% ahead of 2015.



Over the period, Fever-Tree's free cash flow generation and balance sheet have remained strong. Accordingly, the Group's year-end net cash position is anticipated to be ahead of Board expectations.



FY16 expectations



Following the Group's trading update on 7th November the sales in the final two months of the year, particularly in the UK, were stronger than anticipated and therefore the Board expects that the outcome for the full year will be materially ahead of its expectations.



Fever-Tree will announce its Preliminary Results on 21 March 2017.



Commenting on today's announcement, Tim Warrillow, Co-founder and CEO of Fever-Tree said:



"We are delighted with our performance in 2016. Fever-Tree continues to gain market share in both the on and off trade and while we have experienced strong growth across all regions, our performance in the UK has been particularly notable culminating in a very strong Christmas period.



Fever-Tree continues to pioneer and lead the premium mixer category. We believe the global opportunity remains in its early stages and will continue to be supported by the long term premiumisation of the spirits sector as well as the growing movement towards mixed and long drinks. As a result, the Board remain confident of the future outlook for the business
