In the May issue of Global Drinks Intel magazine:

• We take an in-depth look at the current trading environment for spirits in India, a rare bright spot amid the gloom affecting the industry around (most of) the world
• There’s a look at how, thanks to AI-powered compliance platforms, the future of smarter, faster and more effective retail execution has arrived
• In the on-premise channel, we discover how, despite consumers looking to cut back on their spending, the demand for indulgent drinking experiences remains strong
• On the category front, there are up-to-date considerations of what’s shaping gin, American and Irish whiskey, and sparkling wine in 2025
• We feature a raft of interviews, including with the CEO of NABCA, Neal Insley, the co-owner of gin producer Hayman’s of London, James Hayman, and the founder of Jubel fruit beer, Jesse Wilson

All this, plus our regular round-up of the latest alcohol news stories and brand owner ESG activities as well as the most recent product launches in spirits, backed by commentary from drinks marketing expert Chris Tyas and on-premise data whizz Charlie Mitchell.
