Atopia, which was first launched in 2019 in Spiced Citrus and Wild Blossom flavours, is the first ‘ultra-low alcohol’ spirit from the company, bottled at 0.5% abv.
“We are very excited to be the first to launch Atopia into the duty free marketplace,” said Gebr Heinemann’s purchasing director for liquor, tobacco & confectionery, Ruediger Stelkens. “We see lots of potential in this category – we plan on building up our no- & low-alcohol offer with a diverse range of spirits and wines to cater for this growing market.”
In November, a survey commissioned by William Grant revealed that 78% of UK respondents between the ages of 25 and 40 felt a pressure to drink alcohol in social situations.
