For time-scarce and budget-conscious consumers, beverages need to offer something special to justify paying more and brands are pulling out all the stops to bring indulgence and excitement into everyday drinking. Based on recent analysis from Canadean, we explore how low-alcohol and alcohol-free variants are crafting a strong place in the market as a flavoursome alternative to regular strength beer and find out what drives consumers to experiment with non-alcoholic beverages.

Also in this issue, we examine how stagnation in the sports drink sector has motivated brands to think outside of the box as they enter the digital fitness market and take a look at the potential of a new cannabis-infused wine following the vote to legalise recreational marijuana in California.
