We have an exciting challenge before us to drive vibrancy back into the vodka category, with Moskovskaya at the forefront.”

Moskovskaya is a meticulously crafted vodka from Latvia, made with the highest quality ingredients and packaging materials sourced exclusively from within the European Union. With over 125 years of heritage and the recipe unchanged since 1938, Moskovskaya is one of the oldest heritage vodka brands in the world.

Drink Trends 2025: Navigating economic challenges with innovation and flavour

2025 will do doubt be the year the drinks industry truly feels the repercussions of the global and UK economic climate, political turbulence at home and away, and the duty hikes threatened for such a long time coming into play. While inflation has seen a gradual reduction over the last 18 months, the increase in interest rates and the knock-on effect this has on household expenditure will continue to be a theme as we head into 2025.
