According to MarketResearch.com, Gin has been one of the fastest growing categories in the global spirits industry over the last few years. One of the main reasons for the growing popularity of this beverage is its suitability as an ingredient in a wide variety of drinks, as well as the consumers’ interest in gin cocktails.
