Sales of spirits are set to overtake wine globally, having already overtaken in New Zealand.

Kiwis are drinking less and spending their money a little differently, and last year was the first time more spirits were bought than wine.

He said that distillers are getting better and better at their jobs, and the growing number of them means that proportionally, more spirits wind up sold.
