Once called ‘mother’s ruin’, gin was actually incredibly popular in the UK back in the 1700s – in fact, it got somewhat out of hand. There were around 7000 (legal) gin shops in London alone, plus many more distributors acting outside the law, in the 1730s. By 1743, England was consuming 10 litres of gin per person annually. The Gin Act in 1751, plus a greater demand for tea and some bad harvests making gin more pricey, put an end to this massive craze.
Fresh of the pres we’ve got these great-looking digital labels for Wrekin Gin.
According to data from Kantar’s Worldpanel division, gin is officially the nation’s favourite spirit (having overtaken whisky) – over a quarter of the population have purchased Gin in the last 12 months, up from just over 10% 4 years ago. Gin brands have also really succeeded in connecting with younger consumers: 4 years ago, 43% of 18-24s told us that they drink gin, it’s now 55%. According to Kantar data, flavoured gin has been one of the biggest success stories in recent years. The penetration of flavoured gin has grown at 160% year on year, a testament to both the changing tastes of more adventurous consumers but also the influx of craftier gin products on the market.
And here is where small craft distilleries like Wrekin Gin come into the stage.
