The Beverages- Wineries and Distillers sector has suffered lately due to cautious consumers and a shift in consumption habits. Consumer confidence has been low since the onset of the recession. With unemployment continuing to loom around 10% many consumers are choosing to consume alcoholic beverages at home instead of visiting bars and restaurants for a drink. Companies are hoping to capitalize on this shift to at-home consumption by marketing ready-to-serve cocktail drinks. The recession has also hurt high end beer sales.

The sector has had some reasons for optimism lately, nevertheless. Companies have seen strong sales growth in Asia and the Middle East. North America has also posted modest gains as Americans begin to consume more wine. Large promotion budgets have also begun to pay off as Americans are choosing to purchase higher priced premium wines more often. Consumption of wine grew 3% in the U.S. so far this year.
