New ICAP Report on Lower Alcohol Beverages

We are pleased to announce the publication of the new, nineteenth issue of the ICAP Reports, entitled, Lower Alcohol Beverages. Drinks with “lower” alcohol content are produced in each of the major beverage alcohol categories (beer, wine, and spirits). The existence of such drinks points toward an interest on the part of the beverage alcohol producers to provide an expanded range of choices reflecting consumers’ lifestyles, health-consciousness, price sensitivities, as well as tastes. This report examines lower alcohol beverage (LABs) from the perspectives of the beverage alcohol producers, governments, and consumers. It provides an overview of the types of LABs available, identifies trends, and reviews relevant research.

The full text of this report is available on the ICAP Web site,
