Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin & Soda is the newest gin combo from the House of Tanqueray, offering consumers a bittersweet and zesty premix drink.

Under the Diageo brand name, Tanqueray has released the new gin and soda offering exclusively in Australia, following the successful launch of Tanqueray Gin & Tonic, and Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Distilled Gin & Tonic in the UK earlier in the year.

“The gin category continues to grow rapidly, and consumers are now better educated and more demanding. When we launched Tanqueray Gin & Tonic in Australia last year, we underestimated just how popular it would become,” said Diageo marketing manager, gin and light spirits, Linda Wellington.

“Tanqueray is the ideal choice to make those moments feel special. We’re excited to add Tanqueray’s Flor de Sevilla expression to the simplicity and convenience of a ready to drink format, especially as we move into the warmer spring months.”

Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin & Soda is now available in liquor shops aroundhte country in four-packs of 275ml glass bottles for RRP$25.99.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
