CHICAGO, IL Oct. 11, 2022 – Provi, the largest online marketplace for the beverage alcohol industry, today launched its quarterly Provi Pulse report giving context to the shift in buying trends from on- and off-premise beverage alcohol retailers around conscious consumption. The report found that the industry is seeing impacts of increased social conscious consumer demand for products tied to non and low-alc., sustainability, and organic. Additionally, the report looked at movements of top women and minority-owned brands.

The latest Provi Pulse report, which looks at the purchasing data of on- and off-premise buyers on the Provi marketplace in Q3 2022, highlights the top-selling brands across beer, wine and spirits, throughout each conscious consumer trend. The report shows Heineken 0.0 has the market share within the non-alcoholic brand category. Within the non-spirit and non-wine segments, Provi Pulse reported Seedlip Garden 108 and Töst Non-Alcoholic Sparkling as the top-selling brands respectively, last quarter.

In the sustainable spirit segment, Provi reports that Patron Silver was the top-selling and Tequila Ocho Plata was the fastest growing last quarter. The Provi Pulse report also found that nearly 75% of organic product lines ordered on its marketplace this year have been in the last three months, reporting the top-selling organic brands as Dom Perignon Brut (wine), Head HazDogfishy-O! (beer) and Empress 1908 Gin (spirit). With a high demand for minority-owned products paired with a greater focus on diversity in the alcohol industry, more minority-owned brands are standing out among trade buyers. Provi’s marketplace data shows that Uncle Nearest was the fastest-growing minority-owned spirit and Odell Brewing was the fastest-growing minority-owned beer in Q3.

Provi’s quarterly report also highlights efforts across supplier companies who are investing in social initiatives, especially within sustainability and diversity. Programs such as Molson Coors globally by investing $85 million in sustainability efforts and Constellation Brands pledging $100 million in Black, Latinx and minority-owned businesses, are integral in propelling innovation across these key areas forward.

"Provi Pulse data is showing that what’s ‘behind the bottle’ is more prevalent than ever," stated Taylor Katzman, Provi’s Founder & CEO. "Provi’s buyers, and their customers, are cognizant around supporting brands that share a similar ethos. Producers are listening to the market and increasing their commitment and volume of brands that are non-alc, organic, sustainable and minority-owned. While we still have room for growth, it’s exciting to see the industry move in this positive direction."
