Boozy Top Tens

It looks pretty much like the Corporate giants continue to dictate what the rest of the world drinks. The globes top ten alcohol brands have hit the press with 4 out of the honorary ten being owned by multinational corporation ‘Diageo’

1. Smirnoff
2. Bacardi
3. Johnnie Walker
4. Martini
5. Stolichnaya
6. Hennessy
7. Absolut
8. Jack Daniels
9. Chivas Regal
10. Baileys

Interestingly no wine brands made the top ten despite a huge increase in wine sales in many countries. What we DO have for wine lovers though is the recently released list of the top ten countries for those who think they’ve got the time and the money for a leisurely holiday amongst the grape vines:



Tunisia & The Mediterranean
Spain
South Africa
New Zealand
Mendoza, Argentina
Alentejo, Portugal
Napa & Sonoma, USA
Piedmont, Italy
Tokai, Hungary
Burgundy, France
