> midrange and low-end stuff

Which is the vast majority of spirits consumed (by unit volume and total revenue earned), no?

Like, if high-end stuff is all that sells while the consumer base is plummeting over the statistical cliff of earning power and spending money reduction, that doesn’t add up to good prospects for luxury industries like that of high-end alcohol.





The numbers look really odd with scotch and bourbon being down but the whiskey industry itself being slightly up. I'd guess more people are drinking local brands with no tariffs. That makes a down affect for the countries that were exporting.
