Spirits in South Korea

Total volume of spirits increased positively in 2011, rising by around 3%. The main drivers of spirits are soju as well as imported spirits such as rum and white spirits. Low-alcohol content soju, and the changes of drinking culture towards more enjoyment of drinking rather than drinking purely for intoxication, helped spirits’ volume growth over the review period.
