The supplier is the latest to enter the hard seltzer category, which is forecast to be the fastest growing section of the ready-to-drink (RTD) category over the next five years. According to research cited by Budweiser, seltzer sales will total £600m by 2025.
Ben Blake, head of marketing, EMEA at Treasury Wine Estates, said: “This is a first for Treasury Wine Estates, as we launch a seltzer under the disruptive 19 Crimes brand. The brand will continue to push the boundaries of the traditional wine category to appeal to a younger demographic by igniting their sense of discovery through the introduction of different products and flavour profiles.

“The new seltzers will not only appeal to those seeking refreshment occasions, but they will also meet the increased demand for lower ABV drinks options.”
Treasury Wine Estates will support the new products through social media and sampling campaigns.
