Right – here it is, 2008. And away we go. Here at just-drinks, we’re fully recharged and raring to go – me especially, since having taken the decision to dry out for a bit. Scoff all you like (as many who have met me might), but one week in and I remain alive with pleasure. I should have done this for charity – that would have kept the dissenters quiet. This new-found clarity – as well as cleaning up my liver – has led to the creation of a new feature on just-drinks for 2008. Every Friday, we’ll provide you, dear reader, with a round-up of the most visited news stories on the site for that week. Imaginatively enough, we’ve entitled this ‘just the round-up’ - I told you we were raring to go. Mind you, with the pending sale of Vin & Sprit, and the Scottish & Newcastle/Carlsberg/Heineken adventure still in full swing, not forgetting the torrent of full-year results set to break in the next few days, it looks like the week-long break for Christmas might need repeating at some point later this year. We live in hope. Happy New Year to you all, then – here’s hoping 2008 is as lively and exciting as things already suggest it will be. Until next time... Olly Wehring, Managing Editor Web: www.just-drinks.com

FOCUS - Soft drinks brands target health-conscious women [MEM] The Christmas season may be a time notorious for over-indulgence, but soft drinks companies see it as a key period for adult soft drinks, where the emphasis is increasingly on healthy offerings. Annette Farr reports on the plethora of new products targeted at health-conscious professional women.
The past year has been an eventful one across all four of the sectors covered by just-drinks. While 2007 has been notable for its lack of a truly major acquisition event, there was never a shortage of speculation. This briefing reviews the major stories from the beer, spirits, wine and soft drinks markets to hit the just-drinks headlines up to the middle of December 2007, including what the website’s pundits and columnists had to say about some of the notable events of the year.
