THE OPPORTUNITY IN ALCOHOLIC DRINKS - BEER
Gluten free beers are growing in number
• Among UK beer drinkers, 34% agree that they would drink gluten-free beers if they tasted as good as standard varieties while another 43% neither agree nor disagree (e.g. only just over 20% disagree)
• Brands such as Green’s are not just targeting coeliacs – as the brewer does not use gelatine-based products or Isinglass in the production process, the products are also suitable for vegetarians and vegans

…AND EVEN SPIRITS
Blue Ice American Potato Vodka (21st Century Spirits) the first to feature a ‘Gluten Free’ designation on-pack,
US, May 2013
17
• May 2012: US Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) permitted spirit producers to display gluten-free claims on products made from gluten-free ingredients, including potatoes
• Some disagreement over whether distillation removes all trace of gluten – Coeliac UK’s stance is that it does, thus it recommends all spirits (including barley containing malt whisky) as good for people with coeliac disease

ENVIRONMENTAL POSITIONING TO COME INTO GREATER PLAY
For non-dairy alternatives there is a case
Meat & dairy production is unsustainable to feed a growing
world population reaching 9bn by 2050. The world grain output will need to rise by 50%, and meat
production will need to double to meet the demand (UN)
“The problem is that instead of feeding crops to people, we’re
feeding most of them to livestock. And so we’re caught in an inefficient protein-delivery
system.” (Bill Gates)
27

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF DAIRY
Claims to be “planet and people friendly” as it uses less water and less CO2 than protein based products
28
A producer of coconut milk – so could be biased!
“Fantastic for the environment”, as it grows very fast; captures a lot of CO2; does not
need pesticides; soil friendly etc.

GLUTEN FREE ALSO GETS ON BOARD THE TREND
Gluten free products also lead in the use of environmentally friendly product claims
29
Redwood Smoky BBQ Multigrain Chips, USThe manufacturer claims to grow the rice sustainably, by conserving water resources, building soil integrity, and supporting a healthier ecosystem.
Annie's Homegrown Cookies, USPack bears the EcoBonus Collect & Earn point coupon for eco-conscious choices of earth-friendly products, which can be donated to a local non-profit organization or school.
