The supplier is the latest to enter the hard seltzer category, which is forecast to be the fastest growing section of the ready-to-drink (RTD) category over the next five years. According to research cited by Budweiser, seltzer sales will total £600m by 2025.

Ben Blake, head of marketing, EMEA at Treasury Wine Estates, said: “This is a first for Treasury Wine Estates, as we launch a seltzer under the disruptive 19 Crimes brand. The brand will continue to push the boundaries of the traditional wine category to appeal to a younger demographic by igniting their sense of discovery through the introduction of different products and flavour profiles.
