Alcoholic Beverages: Premium Brands, Durable Productivity
Alcoholic Beverages is the strongest peer group in Food and Beverage, built on premium brands, favorable mix and innovation, and efficient, asset-savvy production. Spirits, wine, and beer makers have invested in premiumization, route-to-market, and supply chain modernization, and the leaders turn that into durable productivity.
The group held its lead in 2025, sitting comfortably above its 2019 baseline even as demand softened a little across the year. Rémy Cointreau and Constellation Brands stood out as World’s Most Productive Companies, and several premium spirits and wine names posted further gains.
