    The sparkling wine, however, is set for steady growth in the UK, with consumption to reach around 25 litres per head by 2023 and volume hovering around 14 million cases. Globally, prosecco is tipped to become the major driver of sparkling wine reaching 154 million 9-litre cases.

The UK will lead the global gin phenomenon, which will continue to grow showing CAGR of more than 4 percent between 2018 and 2023 to reach total world volume of 86.16 billion cases.
