Brandy chases whisky in South African spirit wars
The trend, fuelled by a stagnant economy that is strangling spending, has led to the first increase in brandy sales for more than a decade, and falling sales of pricier whisky. This is an unexpected reversal in a country that multinationals Pernod Ricard (TLO: RI-U.TI - news) and Diageo (Euronext: DGE.NX - news) targeted as a lucrative growth market for their whisky brands, and where they had enjoyed years of surging sales among an emerging middle class.

Diageo expects second half to drive full-year growth
Diageo (LSE: DGE.L - news) , the maker of Johnnie Walker whisky and Smirnoff vodka, forecast stronger sales and profit growth in the second half of its financial year after a first half affected by negative factors in China and India and higher spending. The world's biggest spirits maker said earlier on Wednesday that its first-half sales growth would be hurt both by the Chinese New Year falling later than in 2017 and a ban on selling alcohol near Indian highways. Diageo gave the warning in a trading update ahead of its annual general meeting in London on Wednesday, sending its shares down 2 percent and making them the weakest performer on the FTSE 100 Index.
