Champagne sales are showing signs of recovery - maybe the recession really is over

Although the full sales figures for the Christmas period are not available yet, it looks like the Xmas season got off to a good start. The November international sales figures were up for the first time in the year.
Off course its been a tough year, the Jan to Nov figures show overall UK sales down by a whopping 30%, whist in Japan sales were down 40%.
Our promotional champagne sales weren't down that much, but it was certainly noticeable. Our Personalised champagne sales for gifts were pretty stable though.
December for us showed a definite increase in champagne demand.

Alcohol helps keep the roads ice free in the US

A canny local distributor is marketing leftovers from the distillation process as “Magic Salt”, passing on this by-product, which works down to -35°F (-37°C), to hospitals and New Haven city council to keep roads free from ice. Thanks to The Drinks Business newsletter for that.
