TIL World’s biggest beer, wine and spirits producers have collectively lost $830 billion in market value over just four years. Changing drinking habits and rising health concerns have hit earnings across the sector. Millennials and Gen Z are also not much interested in alcohol.

    Nah. We stopped buying American, and instead we buy Canada and Scotland and New Zealand alcohol products. It’s not a reduction, just a delicious shift.

      Are the worlds largest producers of beer wine and spirits mentioned in this article Canadian? Because if not, I don’t see how it’s relevant.

      If they ARE Canadian…really? Are you sure? There’s one that begins with an M thats Canadian. Moltav or something like that. I’d know it if I saw it. Other than that one, I can’t think of any Canadian beer.

        Molson

        There’s lots of craft beers on Canada now. At least, that’s most of what I’ve bought lately but I don’t drink very often.

        Shout out to Granville Island Winter Ale. Goddam delicious!

            Ah damn.

            Need a law that gets rid of American ownership of Canadian companies.

          There may be a lot of craft breweries in Canada now, but if they only sell in Canada and maybe the US border region you’re still looking at a fraction compared to even a US-only producer based on population alone.

          Unless they are massive, like the scale of something like Budweiser… They’re probably not part of the “world’s biggest producers”.
