Brewery news South Korea: Alcoholic beverage companies eyeing to boost at home consumption
South Korea's alcoholic beverage companies are eyeing to boost alcohol consumption at home with the COVID-19 outbreak decimating hospitality businesses across South Korea, EconoTimes reported on December 16.

Restaurants and bars, usually packed with group dinner reservations as the year ends, are forced to close after 9 p.m. in Seoul and surrounding areas under strict social distancing rules.

An official at liquor manufacturer HiteJinro said that while they are not protesting the government’s policy to limit opening hours, the industry is left in poor shape and forced to focus on the home drinking market.

There are over 1,000 daily coronavirus cases in South Korea.

December and the summer months are the peak sales seasons for the industry.

With the pandemic changing people‘s drinking patterns, wine has become more popular being preferred by home drinkers.

HiteJinro registered an annual sales growth of 11.2 percent for wine on December 14.

Meanwhile, sales of imported whiskey and beer are set to shrink this year, being more reliant on bar sales.

Alcohol beverage makers are also prioritizing packaging and diversifying their range of products for those drinking at home.

Oriental Brewery will come up with a “winter special package” of its malt lager brand OB Lager, while HiteJinro’s liquor brands, Chamisul and Jinro, ...More info on site


Brewery news India: Competition Commission of India taking closer look at alleged beer price cartelisation by leading brewers
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is taking a closer look at beer manufacturers for alleged price cartelisation. CNBC-TV18 has learnt that the top executives of Carlsberg, SABMiller and United Breweries are to be summoned soon by the CCI.

The allegation is that executives colluded to fix beer prices in India between 2007 and October 2018.

In 2018 the Competition Commission of India (CCI) in 2018 had raided the offices of the three brewers, which together account for roughly 90 percent of India's beer market.

A Reuters report earlier in the day said the CCI inquiry found that the companies regularly and collectively strategized in seeking price increases in "several states", forging a cartel the CCI said gave them more bargaining power with state authorities.

The companies also used the All India Brewers Association (AIBA) as a "common platform" to decide collectively on prices; and the local group then lobbied on the companies' behalf for price increases, said the Reuters report, quoting the CCI probe.

United Breweries has responded saying, "The case under reference is currently pending before the Competition Commission of India and the company has extended full co-operation to the relevant authorities throughout the process and will present its submissions to the Competition ...More info on site

Brewery news The Dominican Republic: Cervecería Nacional Dominicana instals new line of cans to tackle bottle shortages in the country
Cervecería Nacional Dominicana inaugurated a new line of cans that expands its product packaging offer, and signed an agreement with Caribbean Glass Industry for the reactivation of the glass industry in the Dominican Republic, beginning the production of bottles in the country as of 2021, since it recognizes that, in recent months, and the context of the current health crisis, it has experienced a decline in the availability of its products, the Dominican Today reported on December 11.

The brewery explained that this decline was caused by the shortage of bottles. Due to the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, glass companies at the regional level were forced to close their ovens, causing a decrease in supply.

The company stated that it is committed to re-establishing the correct supply of the market and being able to guarantee products to all its clients to continue providing the Dominicans with the beer they are proud of.


Brewery news South Africa: President reintroduces restrictions on alcohol sales amid second wave of Covid-19
In a national address on Monday, 14 December, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced tighter Level 1 lockdown restrictions amid the second wave of Covid-19 infections in South Africa. Among the amendments are reintroduced restrictions on alcohol sales, BizCommunity reported.

The sale of alcohol from retail outlets will only be permitted between 10am and 6pm from Monday to Thursday, and alcohol consumption in all public spaces, such as beaches and parks, is strictly forbidden.

Registered wineries and wine farms may continue to offer tastings and wine sales to the public for off-site consumption over weekends. “This exception is being made due to the vital contribution of these establishments to the tourism sector in several parts of the country,” said the President.

As the curfew has been extended and will now be from 11pm to 4am, bars and restaurants must close at 22:00 to allow staff to get home.

The South African alcohol industry has stated that it supports the government's risk-adjusted approach of applying measured interventions focused on hotspot areas. However, the significant restriction put on the off-consumption outlets to trade only from 10am to 6pm on Monday to Thursday is an area of concern.

"Like grocery shops, off-consumption retailers have demonstrated effort to adhere to the ...More info on site


Brewery news Germany: Colonia beer from Hesse banned from sale in Cologne and surrounding state of North Rhine-Westphalia
A beer called Colonia from the state of Hesse has been banned from sale in Cologne and its surrounding state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Officials fear it could be confused with the Rhineland's famous Kölsch brew, DW reported on December 13.

The western German city of Cologne is known for its laid-back attitude, epitomized in its world-famous Carnival celebrations.

But when it comes to beer, fun obviously has its limits.

The consumer protection agency from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) has now banned a beer called Colonia, produced by a Frankfurt brewery, from being sold in NRW, where Cologne is situated.

The State Agency for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection (LANUV) said the Frankfurt beer's name and label could lead consumers to think they were buying Kölsch, a beer that is brewed in Cologne and the surrounding area.

The word Colonia harks back to the Latin name of the Roman colony from which the city developed, Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium. The label of the Colonia beer features the contours of Cologne's iconic cathedral and one of its landmark bridges. Advertising for the beer said that its character recalled "a Kölsch in its original classic form."

The term "Kölsch" has a protected geographical indication (PGI) within the ...More info on site
