Kingsland Drinks is launching a sweet-shop inspired range of fusion wines to capitalise on the demand for fusion drinks.

The drinks industry needs to get better at listening to consumers, according to Neil Anderson, marketing director at Kingsland.

Kingsland Drinks has bought UK drinks supplier Bottle Green from DCC Food & Beverage UK.

Kingsland, the specialist UK fillers, packers and bulk wine shippers has added FirstCape and Distell to its South African portfolio, as part of a strategic partnership with wine brand builders, Brandphoenix.

UK drinks industry figures gathered for the Benevolent Roof Gardens Party last week to celebrate the end of the London Wine Fair 2014. They raised more than £10,000 for their trade charity.
