And finally…merry Christmas and thank you to our readers
The db team would like to thank all of our readers on thedrinksbusiness.com and supporters of the publication for a fantastic 2023.
It has been a dramatic year, with big stories for the trade from the Budget, to climate change, to all of the trade shows, the large-scale UK alcohol duty changes in August, to the various harvests of grapes around the world.
We have already seen drinks trends come and go. Do you remember the borg or Hugo Spritz trends? And we have seen big deals take place, including most recently Campari buying Courvoisier.
We have produced reports on Italy, Spain and Champagne.
We have produced millions of words for millions of readers. We have produced more than 250 daily newsletters, hundreds of Asia, US and fine wine newsletters, and produced thousands of articles for our on-trade publication Wine List Confidential.
We have written thousands of tweets, posted hundreds of images on Instagram and engaged with our audience on LinkedIn across our db and personal channels.
Reporting on all of the critical topics and spreading them across our digital platforms would not be possible without you, the reader, who has consistently engaged with our content.
You are what makes us the world’s number one drinks resource, delivering millions of page views, and without your support, the drinks business digital world would simply not be possible.
We have big plans for 2024 and are excited to deliver them to you next year.
We wish you a merry Christmas, holiday season, and happy new year and will be back, ready to deliver the best content in the drinks trade for 2024 on 2 January.
