Seldom does the Philippines not come into the conversation when the topic is Gin. After all, it is the world’s largest consumer of Gin! This relationship is intriguing to say the least and curiosity-arising among the liquor connoisseurs in the world.
So here we are today on a mission to get to the roots of this immense fondness for Gin and know how it affects the prices, demand, and varieties of Gin Philippines has! Stay tuned for some trivia and lots of knowledge!
Gin For The Win!
Not only across Manila, Gain has recently gained tremendous popularity in the modern whisky world in the past few years, and some believe that this might be due to the introduction of “pink gin” in the market.
This rising popularity is being long observed. So much so that it is estimated that through the years 2017-2023, it is yet to experience another growth spurt by 4 percent. Kind of makes us wonder, What is so special about Gin?
Gin: What’s in it?
We don’t mean literally, but what’s in this drink that people can’t seem to let go of once introduced. Take the Philippines for instance, Gin is not their native drink, in fact they were introduced to it by the British during their rule, and for the longest time, it remained to be a status symbol that only the elites could afford.
Yet it made its way to people’s hearts and is now widely accepted, nay embraced by Filipinos, or perhaps by being such an exclusive drink at a time, it invoked curiosity and awe among the people who later made it their own!
Either way, aren’t we glad this change of heart happened? Cause else we may have missed out on all those delicious Gin brands Philippines gave us that we know and love!
Beyond the Tongue!
When we wonder how Gin managed to be where it is today, it's benefits, additional to the premium taste, rush into the mind. For ages before we began consuming it for recreational purposes, the wise & olds in the family drank it for its various medicinal properties and healing effects.
This Juniper (also called Super Berries) based spirit has been known to help with blood circulation and extra water retention along with the wonders it works for your bones and kidney! Raisins, when soaked in it, can be a wonderful daily snack for a prolonged life.
From The Philippines, It’s Not Going Anywhere!
Particularly in the Philippines, people seem to have recognized the special attributes & benefits of Gin a bit more than the rest of the world. But why is that?
It is primarily because of two factors, one being the tremendous history and gravity Gin holds in the Filipino culture, and second being the out of the park marketing done by the leading Gin Brand in the Philippines-Ginebra.
Due to this, the country does everything in its power to promote the drink as much as it can. So much so, that even when it comes to Gin price Philippines offers the best deals when compared to anywhere else in the world.
This naturally further increases the demand for the liquor in the country , thus giving it yet another boost in the country’s alcohol consumption index.
Which in turn, motivates all the leading brands and distilleries to come up with new flavors and options to contribute to this Gin craze and redefine what it means to take your daily G&T.
So Long!
Now, we’re going to take off, and leave you with all this information to ponder upon and reflect on how things as simple as drinks, can have such an influence on people,even countries!
