Worth a colossal £2.6bn in value sales terms in the UK alone in 2019 according to the Wine and Spirit Trade Association, the gin market shows little sign of slowing down. Hoping to add to the 83 million bottles sold last year, brands have been quick to add gin offerings to their portfolio. We take a look at some of the latest offerings to hit the market.
