RAISING THE BAR ON

SUST IN BLE P CK GING Over two thirds of shoppers consider themselves very sustainably conscious (67%)*.

Buying local, supporting local communities, and working towards net-zero remain essential to sustainability-led customers. Within our ever-changing environment venues in the On Trade should look to stock brands with sustainability credentials as your customers expect this.

“

Sustainability is arguably the key issue of our time. It will become more important, and hospitality needs to lead efforts to promote sustainability yet further.** - UKH chief executive Kate Nicholls

"

* CCEP :Lumina Intelligence Future of Convenience Whitepaper; May 2023, Convenience and Wholesale Market Report July 2023 **Morning Advertiser Customers demand sustainability at pubs and restaurants 21.1.20

OUR SPOTLIGHT FOCUSSES ON 3 SUPPLIERS WHO HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD TO INTRODUCE SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING:

In 2021, Heineken REMOVED 158 TONNES OF PLASTIC packaging from their business thanks to the Green Grip, as well as removing all PET bottles and single use plastic cups from the On Trade.

Since 2016, OVER 50% RECYCLED GLASS has made it into Wenlock Spring's glass bottles increasing the amount of recycled glass within our environment.

Throughout 2021, SMARTDISPENSE technology helped pubs, bars, hotels, and restaurants to save 37M PINTS OF WATER and 7.5M PINTS OF BEER AND CIDER.

2018 saw the launch of their new plastic bottle, made from OVER 50% RECYCLED PLASTIC. The whole BOTTLING PROCESS TAKES PLACE ON SITE - reducing the impact on the environment.

A comprehensive range of glass, PET bottles and cans are available. All made from a percentage of recycled material.

ALL BOTTLES, CANS, CAPS, LABELS AND CASE WRAP ARE 100% RECYCLABLE.

FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT: WWW.GREENPUBGUIDE.CO.UK In 2022 CCEP announced that all on-the-go bottles across its core brands made in Great Britain would be made with 100% RECYCLED PETPLASTIC (rPET)****.

CCEP recognise the increased focus on sustainability and has funded a new 3-year trial at Swansea University to explore the POSSIBILITY OF MAKING ITS BOTTLE CAPS OUT OF CO2 EMISSIONS. This is part of their plan to achieve net zero by 2040.

CCEP focus is clear: REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. Their aim is to find innovative ways of doing more with less. That includes accelerating innovation to deliver drinks in new ways, like reusable packaging and smart dispensers.

NO & LOW BEER & CIDER SURGE IN POPULARITY

85%

of UK pubs* – equivalent to about 39,000 venues – now offer at least one low or no alcohol beer alongside their usual range of alcohol-free options

21%

of UK adults would drink alcoholfree beer as an alcohol alternative at a social occasion where others were drinking alcohol

13%

of UK adults** said they were more likely to go to a social event while not drinking alcohol if there were nonalcoholic options other than soft drinks

THIRST FOR HEALTHIER OPTIONS FUELS JUMP IN UK SALES • THE INCREASING THIRST FOR BEER THAT IS NOT BOOZE has been attributed to a growing desire among many individuals – particularly some generation Zs and millennials – to lead a healthier lifestyle. The ‘Wellness Revolution’ has led to more non-alcoholic beers available with fewer calories as well as the additional health benefits • Premium brands have also launched beers that are said to TASTE MORE “AUTHENTIC” • No and low has grown VERY QUICKLY IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS, and instead of the thin-tasting alcohol-free beers customers can now enjoy fuller-bodied equivalents that TASTE LIKE THE REAL THING

TOP 3

BEST SELLING

NO & LOW-ALCOHOL BEER***

1

• To date, BEER HAS LARGELY BEEN DRIVING THE CATEGORY FORWARD, with brewers spending the past few years investing in new brewing techniques and product innovation to continually improve taste and variety • Suggesting low alcohol beers and ciders to pair with food immediately provides an OPPORTUNITY TO UPSELL

2

• CIDER HAS ALSO EMBRACED THE NO AND LOW ALCOHOL CATEGORY. Your range should include one or two fruit ciders and an apple cider, all being visible at the bar NEW ENTRY INTO THE TOP 10 FOR 2023

Skin Contact 2020 Technical information: This wine benefits from being decanted. Getting some oxygen into the wine opens up the flavours beautifully. Naturally occurring sediment is present in the bottle as the wine is unfined and unfiltered. See label text below for further information.

Winemaker Adrian Pike’s notes: “2020 harvest was an interesting one. Yields were down but the flavours were up. As a result, we only have just over 1,000 bottles produced of the 2020 Skin Contact.

This year, it’s fantastically textural with a delicious intensity.

It’s full of fruit in the mid palate and finishes with the signature Westwell orange peel and salinity”.

Summer Field 2020 Winemaker Adrian Pike’s notes “Summer Field is one of my favourite wine styles. With a jewel-like colour and beautifullyf resh acidity from the Chardonnay, the wine is balanced by vibrant strawberry and cherry fruit from the Pinots. A touch of tannin on the finish gives a little black pepper twist.

We created Summer Field because we thought it would be interesting to try and make a red wine from the fruit we usually use to make a white traditional method sparkling.

It’s a style we have produced iterations of for a few vintages and feel it works really well with our fruit. Look out for further adventures in 2022”.
