I read that gin sales dropped by a £billion last year. There were something like 160 companies (probably more now) making/selling gin and only eleven iirc actually distill, the rest buy either cheap gin or neutral spirit, throw a handful of flavourings in and triple the price. There is one locally that buys Lidl gin and repackages it.Don't get me started on rum, which has gone down the guff-ridden hype trail that gin has travelled in the last 10 years.
