An alcoholic beverage is a drink that is made by mixing ethanol with fermented fruits, grains and sugar. Wines and ciders are made using a fermented fruit base, while beers and spirits are manufactured by fermenting barley and rye respectively. The alcoholic content and flavor of the beverage are affected by how long it is stored to age and the container in which it is fermented. Alcoholic beverages are widely consumed as rejuvenating and recreational drinks.

Innovations and advancements in the manufacturing of vodka, flavored wine, beer and cocktail, coupled with the changing lifestyles of consumers, their beverage preferences, and increase in the number of breweries and wineries worldwide are aiding the growth of the market. Additionally, the demand for premium and super-premium alcoholic beverages is growing at a significant rate across both developed and emerging economies. The growing trend of socializing and mid-week/weekend parties among young and working professionals has also positively influenced the market. With increasing urbanization, premium beverages are now being associated with class and sophistication that has resulted in consumers looking for unique and innovative drinking experiences. This has led to a rising inclination towards experimentation with different varieties of flavored alcohols and mixed beverages. Furthermore, factors such as growth in the food and beverage industry, rising rate of social media and internet penetration, and improving distribution and retail channels are also contributing to the market growth.
